It is easy to explain: "You have to use the __construct form for any
class used in Namespace".
We can then even drop the old form in php 6.x. Many changes have no
gain but make the language clearer or cleaner. It is not an objective
change but it does help to cleanup the language.
I will not die if we still support old things for the rest of the
php's life but...
Also keep in mind, while BC is nice and dandy, there are still new
people learning PHP, if we never "cleanup" anything, then we will
force all beginners to be exposed to all these variations
indefinitely. This kind of stuff is quite easy to fix. Throw a
deprecated warning in 5.3 and remove in PHP 6.x.
