And "5" will end up as the next dead horse?
Probably, but is not time to worry about that, maybe in about 5 years or so.. dunno, but now **is** time to worry for PHP4 as it is going away this year.. software has a lifecycle and in 5 or 6 years your investment is already recovered and you can devote new resources into updating your applications, this happends all the time, and not only with PHP...( but is more notorius with PHP due to it's popularity) I would **love** to hear how we, openSUSE, can help you in the migration without intruducing PHP4 again.. do you need more documentation ? howto? is the online PHP documention not enough to do so ..I mean.. geez.. the changes are not **that** many...I have asked this very same question to many people and I never got a proper answer.. so I suspect people just want to use obsolete stuff till the end of time and cause unnecesarry workload on package mantainers.. You can also google for the redhat or ubuntu rationale about removing PHP4 from their distros and you will find it is pretty similar.. so no need to elaborate more.
