Yep I agree but unfortunately it seems that most people on the dev team either don't care or don't speak up.
Also, I asked time and again to add BC breaking changes to an UPGRADING file. Had that been done we would have noticed and could have reacted.

I don't remember any such decision. I don't even remember a discussion about
it. I'm aware of the efforts of some people to make PHP less PHP and more Java
and thus we end up in a situation where:

class foo{}; foo::$bar = 1;

is a fatal error. This makes things that I really like about PHP impossible.
By now I'm used to being not constrained by a static language and having such
restrictions placed on new features makes no sense to me.

Yup, I agree. OO is good, but it shouldn't limit application development
just for the sake of things not being pure OO.
