This is obviously totally wrong and has to be noted as wrong, hence
E_NOTICE. Since it can be dealt with without rendering the script
unexecutable raising a fatal error in PHP5 is wrong => switch that to
E_NOTICE, too.
But the problem for a lot of people using PHP applications simply is
that they had perfectly running code and they weren't getting any
notices at all. Now they still have working code but this one error in
code they haven't written is throwing notices at them like hell.
The quick answer is "deactivate error reporting for production systems",
but this is not a real solution for the PHP 4.x platform. People _using_
foreign code expect to get consistent behaviour from their applications.
So the report level for this should be configurable for the 4.x branch
with silence as default.
