Unless thing have changed since I was working on it, upstream never makes formal lifecycle commitments, but my experience from years of working on PHP in Debian, Ubuntu, and upstream is that significantly less effort goes into backporting and maintaining old branches after the current one is considered mature and widely-deployed. One can't say for sure how long 5.3.x will survive upstream before they release a 5.4 (or 6.0), but given the focus on 6.x, I would expect 5.3 to survive a few years, at least. Either way, it's going to live on with upstream support much longer than 5.2 will. ...
