I'm 0 for this change. Although it's close to +1. Those who are willing to remove "var" from PHP should write conversion script that scans PHP scripts and converts "var" to "public". Then there will be more supporters for removing "var". We have tokenizer. It should not be difficult. Tokenizier may be extended to make this kind of conversion script easier. i.e. Get offset of tokens also. If there is offset, writing conversion script is trivial. It seems some work is required to return offset, though.
