 Replying to SergeyBiryukov:

 > Wouldn't it be possible to make an intermediate stable maintenance
 release just for PHP 5 compatibility, and then continue working on other
 features and bug fixes?

 I think it's worth noting here, that the code in question doesn't
 technically have anything wrong with it, It works just fine as it is, and
 is 100% legit PHP. The only problem being is that it doesn't fit a PHP5
 best practice, but that is something you have to accept when supporting
 PHP4 code (as it was designed to do in this case).

 E_DEPRECATEDs/E_STRICTs are not something you should worry about logging
 when it isn't your code you're logging, If you're going to jump in and fix
 it up, then log away, but if you're simply going to request people fix it,
 consider changing your error reporting level to something less verbose..
 After all, you're logging errors, not coding suggestions.
