Comment:

 Duplicate of #20801.

 Going to mark this as a duplicate of the previous ticket then.

 There's nothing we can do to avoid the strict standards warning in older
 PHP without breaking backwards compatibility, and since it should only be
 shown to Developers with display_errors on (and WP_DEBUG) I'd encourage
 them to develop with a more modern PHP (or at least a stable release in
 the older branch).
