No, it's a simple matter of need. People also run apache 1.x, mysql 3.x
etc. There are still Linux 2.2 and 2.4 systems out there too.
Besides, the migration path of php4-5 is not always easy - code may
have to be rewritten, other code may not work at all etc. I have two
applications that can only run on php 4.3.8 due to a regression of the
setlocale() function in later versions.
