Comment (by knutsp):

 Must agree with @TimothyBlynJacobs . This ticket seems to want to combat
 PHP8 strictness, rather that ensure compatibility. Like an "undoing".

 Making this a warning should only be temporary, by a constant or a plugin,
 to help migration/upgrading. Core, with no modifications, should just
 accept it as is, a fatal error caused by a developer.

 Make the change to PHP8 as soft as possible, offer help for some time or
 under conditions, but not "undo" permanently.
