Setting up a channel is the best solution. There is no way all the parties here are going to agree.
With a channel for php5 people wanting to use all the bells and whistles of php5 can add packages to
it which will help php5 take off.
I believe that for a while there will be an ugly situation with php4/php5 because a company is
unlikely to rewrite an app from php4 to php5, and there are a lot of those in intranets.
