I just did a check of what Dreamhost is running, which seems to be PHP 5.2.17. Maybe they're trailing edge (after all, they still only have MediaWiki 1.16.4), but I'd bet a lot of the other hosters haven't moved to 5.3 yet. I'd say that when the latest versions of the "stable" distros move over (Ubuntu LTS, Debian stable, RHEL/CentOS), that's a good benchmark, since that's what's likely to be common in hosting environments. Ubuntu Lucid is already at 5.3. I haven't checked Debian or RHEL. Alternatively, it'd be better to actually survey the major general purpose hosters, though it seems that market is a little too fragmented and fluid to get a good sense of "typical". > * Can we have isolated components in core that require 5.3? I'm not sure how that would work. Once it's in core, I imagine that dependencies would slip in.
