Leaving it does hurt. Most developers with no PHP4 experience don't
know that such a feature exists and spend hours trying to figure out
why a parent class' constructor isn't getting called when it's not
overriden by self::__construct().
PHP can't support everything forever, old and nowadays rarely used
syntax like this one must go away.
