I'm in favor of removing as many ambiguities from Gherkin the language as is reasonable, and in my opinion this is one of those cases. I don't think making it optional really adds anything, but Examples without a colon and with a description look awkward:
Examples all colors correct
vs.
Examples: all colors correct
Having said that, making the colon optional shouldn't be too hard if we want to avoid breaking features that have already been written.

The best would be if we could get a deprecation warning! Can you do that?
from gherkin2.
I think so. I'll look into it.

See http://github.com/msassak/cucumber/commit/044507c1aa7d00ff6e1525bec81d125cd81d4227
I added it to the Tree Walker in Cuke itself. I think it's best this way, as we can deprecate it now in preparation for Gherkin, and we don't need to fiddle with either of the parsers. I couldn't find a good way to provide more context e.g. "Examples group in /path/to/example.feature", but it's blaringly obvious when run with the pretty printer, so I think we should be OK.

Nice one. I think that's fine - I remember way back when it changed from 'Scenarios' to 'Examples' without warning and we just had to suck it up and fix all our features, so this is a great improvement on that.

This is a cucumber issue now: https://rspec.lighthouseapp.com/projects/16211-cucumber/tickets/500-deprecate-examples-keyword-without-a-colon, so I'm closing this ticket.
