As I said, some Linux distros still support it (I thought Ubuntu 8.04
LTS was one of them, but looks like I was wrong there). That includes
backported security patches, from my understanding.

Anyway, I'd like us to make a clean cut. And that should come with
advance notice to the community and a good look around the code to get
rid of any remaining PHP 4-specific workarounds. All this requires time
that, at this point, I'd rather invest in getting the next release ready
for the targeted April release.

Of course this also means that any code produced during GSoC (should we
be selected to participate again) can be PHP 5-only.

bye, Dirk
