Responding to inconsistency with more changes seems like trying to regain your balance by making wilder and wilder swings of your arms.
A better solution? Don't make arbitrary changes that will make months of unnecessary work for people for no reason to begin with. If you're going to eat up developer time, you should make it for a good reason.
- nilliams 14y agoNo serious developer would lose months of work to this, that claim is completely ludicrous.
- jodrellblank 14y ago"The change was part of standardizing all of PHP on the same parameter parsing code." is not an 'arbitrary change' 'for no reason'. Even if the reason is making PHP more consistent and paying off technical debt for future PHP maintenance, instead of benefitting you directly, it's still a reasonable change for a reasonable reason.
