Comment(by jacobsantos):

 Well, someone had to commit patches or take them out. I know in the past
 that patches would not be committed that took them out and there was a
 huge battle over taking it out of the wp-config.php. I believe eventually
 reason prevailed but only after the 20th ticket[1] was created that dealt
 with the "headers already sent" issue.

 I think it was more or less the least favorite part of the standard. The
 arguments on why it should be included seem a little lacking, but a
 standard is a standard and what can one do? Regardless, a standard should
 be followed or it becomes more of a guideline and then we'll have spaces
 instead of tabs.

 The standard should at least be updated to when it is acceptable to remove
 the closing tag or when it is required to have it.


 [1] It was more like the 6th or 7th ticket, but okay.
