Good questions, but in my opinion the relevant first question here is: “is there a significant number of users who need BDB < 4 support in future PHP versions?” Otherwise I see no point in putting further maintance effort (see, for instance, the dba_db2.c history[1]) just to let the extension compile (I suppose that nobody of the PHP team actually tested with BDB < 4 within the last years).
