So just because you don't use them they are not necessary?
That perfectly sums it all up and explains a lot.

A last short statement: There are some really convenient new features in
the OOP handling in PHP 5, which _require_ interfaces. No interfaces, no
such features. If you haven't used them yet, fine. But that doesn't mean
that they are not necessary. For many other people who make use of all
the benefits PHP 5 has to offer they _are_ necessary.

I'm out.
