[geeklog-devel] Dropping support for PHP 4

[Dirk Haun]

> My suggestions is that we find out when support for those systems finally runs out (February 2012 seems to be one such date) and commit to providing security fixes for Geeklog 1.7.x until that date.

It seems that February 29, 2012 is the "End of Production 3 phase" (whatever that means) for RHEL 4. They even offer an "Extended Life Cycle phase" until February 28, 2015(!)

Okay, 2015 is way too long, IMO. We have to draw a line somewhere and Feb 29, 2012 is just about as arbitrary as any other date. I'd suggest we pick this one.

I've prepared a draft statement:

Comments, suggestions, corrections?
