ZF is already past 5.1.6 and has been since 1.7. I don't think RHEL or CentOS should play any role in the decision as it's been 3 years since they updated. Ubuntu will probably ship PHP 5.3 as default in the next LTS (probably 10.04). Not so sure about Debian's next release. dotdeb.org provides updated php packages for Debian stable though, so it shouldn't be too much of an issue for the people who actually want to move up. I think it would be great if we can take advantage of the functionality of PHP 5.3 in ZF 2.0.
