1. Only lead devs can define blessed tasks.

2. If you're the reporter, you don't set the reporter-feedback keyword. You probably meant developer-feedback.

3. is_a() has been un-deprecated in PHP 5.3: ​http://php.net/is_a

Replying to scribu:

Most server environments don't run 5.3, I recently heard a quote of 10% of servers are actually running 5.3. Since it is deprecated in 5.2.x, that means most people (90%?) would see the strict standards warning, if they had such high level error reporting turned on.

I'm reopening, suggesting the fix as suggested by arena, which will hide any strict standards warnings that may pop up.

[scribu]

Most server environments don't run 5.3

Most server environments don't have E_STRICT turned on either and I would wager that the number of servers running PHP 5.2 AND having E_STRICT on is vanishingly small.

[scribu]

Because if you care about E_STRICT, but haven't bothered to update to a version of PHP that still receives security updates, your priorities are all wrong.

True, this is probably a narrow use case.

Also of note, I just noticed E_STRICT is included in E_ALL as of 5.4 (see note next to E_STRICT in ​PHP Error Constants), so there would be an added bonus to the also potentially narrow use case of anyone running 5.4 with WP_DEBUG set to true.

[scribu]

There would be no bonus, since is_a() is not deprecated in PHP 5.4 either.

Heh, whoops. Yep, no bonus.

[scribu]

So, can I close this again? There are so many other, more useful, tickets that need attention.

[ericlewis]

Sure.
