I'd be more in favour of a statement that put a final death date on it which means no new releases of any sort. We could still say security-fixes only by the end of the year and then death by 08/08/08 or something like that.

+1

The final PHP 4 patch date should be relative to the release date of PHP 6, e.g. 6 months after PHP 6 is released.

If you do this, what is the reason for PHP5 existance? So, I would just move from PHP4 to PHP6.

PHP5 was something that should be erased from everyone's mind? PHP6 adoption will be slow because you'll keep PHP5 support for a longer time and etc, etc, etc.

The point here is how much time should you support an older version? IMHO, the ideal time is 2 years. One year to stable the version (remembering from first versions of PHP5) and another year for projects being updated (considering big projects here). As you can see, PHP4 is being supported for 3 years after the launch of PHP5.
