It's really hard to make a decision here because you also have to care about big companies in one way, that have not updated to PHP 5.3 now
Such companies are using LTS releases of their OS distribution (RHEL, SLES, ...) where the vendor will take care of backporting PHP fixes. SLES 11 SP2 got out this week, finally shipping PHP 5.3 for the first time. They did a pretty good job maintaining their 5.2 product (which is still included as an unsupported option). Enterprise distributions are both slow and stable.

I don't think php development should commit to unpaid long term support. -- Ralf Lang Linux Consultant / Developer Tel.: +49-170-6381563 Mail: lang@b1-systems.de B1 Systems GmbH Osterfeldstraße 7 / 85088 Vohburg / http://www.b1-systems.de GF: Ralph Dehner / Unternehmenssitz: Vohburg / AG: Ingolstadt,HRB 3537
