Comment (by nerrad):

 I wonder if slipping [30400] into a late build of 4.1 is a good idea?
 There's likely a lot of plugins (maybe themes) out there that will have
 code that will start throwing warnings because of the strict checks.  (We
 just noticed it with automated testing in our builds last night).  It's a
 good idea, just needs to either be communicated REALLY well, or maybe
 delayed.
