> Those standards are are a very accurate representation of the way the best, most popular open source PHP code is being written. PHP-FIG members have repeatedly cautioned[1][2][3][4] that the PSRs (notably PSR-2) are not a set of best practices, but merely a survey of commonalities of PHP-FIG member projects. Even then, several member projects do not, and have stated they will not, implement PSR-1 and/or PSR-2. Treating them as the best or most accurate representation of how PHP is being developed at large is exactly the wrong thing to take away from the PSR process.
