This gave me a very silly idea (or not?):
Release a PHP 4.9 version or something like that!
And here's what it looks like: It is a complete PHP 5.1 in disguise plus
a parallel installtion of the latest true PHP 4 branch. The 5.1 code is
active by default and people are forced to switch to the other codebase
by activating a compatibility switch which is called
crappy_old_code_you_should_not_use_compatibility = on
This way a lot of people will finally get a PHP5 on their machine since
a lot of hosters don't switch to PHP5 but they keep their PHP4
installation on the latest release. The name of the switch in
combination with the 9 in the release number will finally make clear to
people that they should better fix stuff instead of sticking to old
versions _and_ that there probably won't be any new PHP4 versions.
