IMHO this is really sad, because if one *must* have installed libxml2
version newer or equal to 2.5.0, you would exclude him and many others
from using PHP5.
Reason:
On a system like my RedHat7.3 you still don't have an official update
(in case for RH systems: provided using up2date) you neither can install
nor upgrade to that version, because it requires GLIBC 2.3 or newer.
Updating GLIBC isn't easy and shouldn't be made by non-professionals,
while it is very much basic and gets used by almost everything.

So many users which aren't used to the stuff as much would never see
PHP5 running their system.
