It's going a step further it seems.  This was just posted on PHP-DEV a half hour ago by Derick Rathens:

With the nice PHP 5 / PHP 6 unicode semantics thread under way I am 
trying to gauge what people feel about dropping support for PHP 4 at the 
end of this year. That does not mean that we will not fix security 
issues, we have to as the install base is too large, but that would be 
the only thing that would warrant a new release. I already sort of 
mentioned this on april 1st, but I think we should come with a slightly 
more official statement. Your votes please (only -1 and +1 are 
allowed)!
[/snip]

The first half dozen or so responses have all been +1 to drop support for PHP4 with the clear exception of security fixes.

I would agree to move to PHP5.
I tried to list one of my projects there and got a message after 
clicking "preview" that the spam filter was triggered and my submission 
declined....
