Because if you run a webhost with a zillion users, half of whom are
screaming for PHP 6, and half of whom are screaming because something
broke, you're a very unhappy company.
Because if you have plug-in web-apps like forums, guestbooks, ... you
don't want to re-write the damn things.

And your code will be used by a tiny tiny fraction of the potential
