I changed the first two paragraphs to: <p> Today it is exactly three years ago since PHP 5 has been released. In those three years it has seen many improvements over PHP 4. PHP 5 is fast, stable & production-ready and as PHP 6 is on the way, PHP 4 will be discontinued. </p> <p> Hereby the PHP development team announces that support for PHP 4 will continue until the end of this year only. After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. In case security issues might arise after this date, we will consider making security-only releases up to 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5. </p> I think that reads better.
