I agree. I personally would have loved the choice between supported php4 and php5 for TSL 2.2, or even better, coexistence of both if that were at all possible. I would really just prefer to not spend the time to do extensive testing of all my web applications to ensure that they do indeed work in all scenarios.
I find the exclusive jump to php5 quite strange, given the normal Trustix policy of not jumping onboard the latest greatest things, for example not using the 2.6 kernel in TSL 2.2. I would have thought that the Trustix developers would err on the side of caution and if at all supporting php5, at the least provide support for both versions. Especially since 2.2 is the final release of a series that has always supported php4.
Maybe the Trustix development team doesn't consider the php4->php5 migration
as a major thing, but as a full time php developer I seriously do. Sure,
people say 99% of scripts will simply work .. but what about that 1% that
wont.
I am part of the 1%. The jump from php4 to php5 was really a surprise. We run applications onder php4 and these apps just didn't work with php5. Migrating source codes and everything to php5, I attempted, was such a mess that I just quit. So now, what I did was to downgrade php5 to php4 to have all our sites working.
