I can't help thinking that this would draw some kind of line between serious PHP application developers, and the "rest" since the take up of version 5.2.x is abysmally low at the moment even with projects such as http://www.gophp5.org/. Take up of 5.3.x is likely to be infinitesimally small among the majority of web hosts.

This kind of stance would hopefully foster more awareness and hopefully increase the move to a more up to date version of PHP within the web hosting circles. Steve Daniels P.S.
