What I presented here is my personal view of the problem , I dont talk
for SUSE/novell, however if a problem is found in PHP, it will almost
certainly pass, in any or other way by my hands (as Im one of most
active contributors in this specific area) and I decided long time ago,
that I'll **not** spend my time working, fixing or doing absolutely
nothing with PHP4. it is not worth the hassle, I just want to let it die
and dance on it 's grave at night. :) (unless of course someone pays me
to fix it)

of course, mmarek is still working on it.

some version is available in the buildservice and it will be retired on
Nov 2007 IIRC.
