The use case we're talking about would be something like (indented to avoid issues with Newsreaders): <?switch ($foo):?> <?case 1?> <p>1</p> <?break?> <?case 2?> <p>2</p> <?break?> <?endswitch?> If that code wouldn't trigger a deprecation notice, fine. However, we had apparently introduced an inconsistency then. Note that I do not advocate writing such code, but I wouldn't be surprised if such code exists in the wild, but even more suprised if such code would be found in a Composer package. Christoph M.
