I don't follow this logic at all: isn't the whole point of deprecation 
notices to make people notice them? If people run tests with 
E_DEPRECATED active, it's presumably because they want those tests to 
tell them if they're using something deprecated; if people don't want 
the deprecation notices to break their tests, they can configure their 
test runner to ignore them. So who exactly is helped by not including 
those notices?
