With such figures you have to keep in mind that a) it does also count
systems not really maintained and b) only systems with expose_php on
which are available on the internet, not intranet hosts. I have
statistics showing me that 59.2% of the people who install a recent
version of phpMyFAQ, which is some random average, free available, PHP
application, do this on PHP 5. (here you have too keep in mind that this
includes people who install it, maybe for testing, on a local windows
box and all... ah and it only counts data from people who agree sending
it). Once I have the time, I'll sit down and make some deeper analysis
of the data I have.

The key point is: Statistics can show quite different numbers, so don't
overrate them.

I agree about the statistics. I posted this just because Oliver asked...

My thought  about php4->php6 migration was that when php6 is out to
encourage (or more correctly said almost enforce - with the proper
announcement for EOL on the php.net) the php4 users to upgrade directly to
php6. This way the php6 adoption could be much faster than php5 one.
It will be just obvious for everybody still using php4 that he has to
upgrade - then why to upgrade to php5 while he can upgrade to php6?
So please give your opinions on this.
