The problem is not to support old releases, the problem is that this would
mean to release a new 1.6 a new 1.5, a new 1.4 whatever release... because
bugs are always reported to outdated releases. There are even bugs for 0.9
within the bug tracker.
I don't think that this is really maintainable by the dev team or the
community, but that's only my opinion.
And you also have to keep in mind that releases like 5.1.6 or 5.2.0 are
really problematic releases and should not be used in productive
environement.

You CAN use ZF 1.7+ with PHP 5.1.4... most components will run without
problems. Also Zend_Date works with 5.1.4. But if you are using new
features
like Zend_Locale's "application wide locale", which was added with 1.7.0,
you will notice problems as it was coded for 5.2.4 and not for 5.1.4.
It sounds like the question is "Does the Zend Framework development team
not
support (or have a policy for supporting) previous releases?"
