It is absolutely not the case that a program written for PHP 5.0 can be guaranteed to run under PHP 5.5 without modification. I thought PHP version numbers couldn't really be considered semantic like that, ever since PHP 6 was abandoned, and major language features from it were dropped into PHP 5.3 and 5.4. The current release policy could plausibly continue indefinitely, with a 5.13 in 2021; "never" is a long time... -- Rowan Collins [IMSoP]The absolute earliest this would actually be removed would be in 5.7, sometime in 2015. In fact, deprecating now but not expecting removal to be possible until 5.8 / 2016 seems reasonable to me.I don't think we can ever remove it in 5.x.
