PHP4 doesn't just pose security threat to a particular web app, but the
machine or even the cluster it runs on, one buggy php4 version or php4
application can potentially take down the entire cluster. As I've said
before, if they insist on running PHP4, then the only logical solution
will be to run PHP4 on it's own cluster, so when it's hacked, the damage
is contained.

If the additional cost of such a solution cannot be covered by the
customers insist on running PHP4, then the responsible solution is to
drop support of PHP4, in interest of other customers who do want to go
for the more secure solution, they should not be punished by those who
insist on staying php4.
