There's no reason not to break BC in 7.4. The people still running 5.3 aren't going to not upgrade to 7.4 because you fixed the array functions.

- ars 8y agoThat is a completely false sentence. People develop PHP sites, launch them and expect them to work, even if the server is upgraded to the latest PHP. Breaking their code on a PHP upgrade is a great way to strand them on old unsupported versions of PHP. Not everyone has resources to change things that used to work because of some "array function" change that doesn't really make any difference.
