Not true. Having standardized notation for deprecation would allow tooling to analyze a codebase and determine if it contains deprecated code that needs to be remediated without having to run the code with full coverage. Actually, `since:` doesn't go far enough because it doesn't indicate if the deprecation throws warnings, throws errors, or just no longer works. The latter two would be especially helpful when deciding if code modifications are necessary before upgrading to a new version of PHP. -Mike
