I'm not sure I follow. What do you mean by "comment 'var' entries"? To 
my knowledge, /** @var ... */ is the correct notation for PHPDoc for a 
property, whatever its visibility, but maybe you're talking about some 
other comments?

This much I agree with. I see no urgency to batch update, even if the 
cost of doing so is low.
