It's also worth mentioning the following historical commit:
the 'alternative' syntax is not deprecated
Tue Oct 9 23:29:27 2001 UTC (5 years, 3 months ago) by jimw
<sect1 id="control-structures.alternative-syntax">
In other words, over five years ago the deprecated status warning was
removed from the PHP manual for this alternative syntax. It had been
there for ~3.5 months and according to this long thread*, adding
that warning was considered a mistake.

Philip

Subject: [PHP-DEV] Removing if: endif; syntax
Reading the array thread, someone mentioned having several
ways of doing things. One of their examples was the if:
endif; syntax. Forgive me if this has been discussed, but
has anyone proposed removing that for PHP6?
Seems like the perfect time to do it. Its not recommended.
Editors that check PHP syntax warn about it. It just seems
like a no brainer. =)
