I'd like to suggest C) 5.0.*
This should include just bug and security fixes. However we may want to
commit to retaining a list of breaks from version 5.0.0 and possible
workarounds for the framework.

This topic has risen from the discussions of singleton model
implementation and I think deserves clarification. The argument is
what versions of php should we expect to be installed.
(A) 5.0.0 - We should target php as it was released at version 5.0.0.
- Conditional checks would need to be added for any features or
changes in behavior to php which were added after the 5.0.0 release
that are to be utilized in the framework. To take the specific case
that spurred the discussion http://php.net/is_subclass_of supports
checking if a class is a subclass of a parent as of 5.0.3 where as
prior versions of the function only supported checking against a live
object. In order to utlize this change in behavior, we would need to
check if the current php version is equal or greater to 5.0.3 and if
not provide a workaround.
(B) We should target the most current stable version of php, 5.0.4 at
this time and expect developers will be running a current release of
php.
I dont think it is in the scope of the framework to pander to admins
that dont practice good package adminstration by keeping their
packages up to date and so I firmly believe (B) to be the best
practice we should be following. If we do not target the latest stable
release of the applications we intend to collaborate with, we need to
generate a policy to determine what factors will affect the target
platform(s). I believe the outcome of this vote should be extended to
not only php but any other application we intend to be used, ie:
Phing, Propel, SimpleTest, PhpUnit2, Creole, MySQL, et al.
So come one, come all, throw your 2cents in so we can establish the baseline.
