I'm breaking your vote only rule. I don't really understand what
dropping support means if we will still release security fixes. That's
the mode we have been in for at least a year, so what would change at
the end of the year?
Dropping support to me means PHP 4 becomes like PHP 3. No new releases
for any reason, and I don't think we can realistically do that yet.
Saying we are dropping support and then continuing on with the status
quo seems odd to me.
To me it means in the first place that we can add a canned answer to the bugtracker
which would say "PHP4 is not supported anymore, install PHP5" and close all PHP4 only reports.
So no bug-fixes, no releases except for ones fixing critical security problems.
And even that should be ceased either in say.. 1 or 2 years.
