regarding the php4 ebuild i was a little bit surprised that they would drop the ebuild so soon, after all php4 will still get security fixes until 2008-08. i was wondering, if they keep mysql-4.0 in portage which isn't supported anymore since summer 2006, why would they want to drop php4 so quickly?
Because this "stay of execution" was announced after the decided to EOL php4. Gentoo dropped the php4 support after the original announcement was made. We're not going to temporarily bring them back just for a couple of months.
