Summary
We should deprecate and remove the PHPDriver, because using a magic variable $metadata in a file is confusing and the StaticPHPDriver offers a better API with a method on the entity. This will reduce the amount of test-code we have to maintain significantly.
Users can use the orm:convert-mapping command in the 2.* branches to move to another mapping driver without great effort.
In addition if they want to stay with programmatic metadata configuration, StaticPHPDriver could be used in a simple way to keep the old mapping:
class City
{
public static function loadMetadata(ClassMetadata $metadata)
{
include "path/to/mapping/City.php";
}
}
