-1 Because the majority of the installation (somebody two month ago in this list mentioned that php 5 has just 10% adoption) is still php4 just makes no sense to drop the support.

This is a very old and tired argument, and pretty much is exactly where Apache httpd was, with respect to 1.3, at a similar timeframe.

Folks find it to easy to stay with what they have installed. And even once 4.4 'ends', you will still have security patches (as mentioned) to keep them safe, if they even bother the patch/update. Adoption will be slow.

But it doesn't justify leaving the developers dug in the sands trying to move changes back to 4.4. If they want the glitz, jazz and even the most up to date bug fixes, they'll have to come along for the ride.

Take care of your *developers*, and your users will have a platform they can appreciate and enjoy. Focus on acting like a BigCo and you will sap the developers' time and energy.
