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.

I think that reads better.
It is perfect, well done :)
Merci!
