If short_open_tag=On and <? is used, a single deprecation warning is thrown. short_open_tag=On remains the default, so there will be no accidental code leakage due to changed defaults. If short_open_tag=Off, then <? in the code are ignored as usual. I believe that addresses the implementation concerns and we can go ahead with landing this RFC. Nikita
