Unfortunately, I'd say you'd want to in this case. I'm been refactoring the heck out of the Math_* packages to pick up PHP5 - but only because they are still < 1.0.0 / stable. We haven't knowingly broken BC in a long time. I know there's other packages out there - PHPUnit for instance - which are happy to break BC between releases, and the world has moved on without much arm waving. If you want, I'll happily contribute to a Mail_Mime2 on github. The standard refactorings I do almost automatically: - Kill PEAR for Exceptions - PHP5 syntax - Prefer dependency injection / avoid work in the constructor - Ensure test suite is current ... or other old PHP4 packages that depend on it.
