I do not agree. We cannot force maintainers to support php5. However if
a package is useless in php5, I do not see a reason to port it to php5.
Let the users really migrate to php5 and do not keep old codes for
years.
If the required fixes are small (ie references, definition,...) it is
obviously not bad to apply them.
In the case of XML_XPath, that will bloat the whole thing if you want to
have a real php5 support and php4 support.
