As far as I know, the PHP core has never dictated docblock contents, or 
any other aspect of coding style. Such decisions are up to "the 
community", which is a very broad concept. PHP-FIG is an attempt to get 
that community "around a table" to decide on a common style, and common 
ways of working.

If you want to follow a different style, you can; if you want to form an 
alternative community group to spread that style, you can. None of that 
has anything to do with the core language.

Supported by whom? It's certainly not supported by the core language, 
it's just a program you can use. However, it seems to meet people's 
needs better than previous alternatives, so it is very popular.
