No, it's good. It IS easy to write to strict mode, and usually not
hard to upgrade code written otherwise.

I think the main problem is foresight: you need to have strict modes
turned on from the beginning, and enforce that requirement for all
developers on the project. Otherwise you get to a point three years
down the line where some joker wants strict mode and you can't even
begin to imagine how you're going to make your code and developers
conform to such an odd request. ;-)

Anyway, for all the CMS and framework devs who lurk on this list, it
seems that both PHP5 and strict mode support are key selling points,
and worth devoting some resources to supporting in a near-future
release, providing you can get buy-in from your devs.
