Now that really gives a kick :-) Basically we just found out that even the "we don't want to spend time for it for further support" argument is ridiculously false even within the company.
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)
Supporting it for _some_ version of the distro means somebody has to work and it means there will be patches for big issues.
of course, mmarek is still working on it.
So the only question left is if they are made available for the whole community _somewhen_ (maybe later)
some version is available in the buildservice and it will be retired on Nov 2007 IIRC.
