I disagree, 90% of the notes for PHP5 functions discuss replica PHP4
versions. I think it's clear people don't check the migration pages before
reading or making their own post (why would they!).

I think a possible solution would be to add a Tip or Note saying "See here
for more information about using this function without upgrading your
version of PHP".

That page could then point to either pear, or another page in the php manual
with more information.

I hope I haven't stepped on any toes by adding so many notes!
