I'd propose we move all infrastructure to version 5.5 or newer - with
PHP 5.5 and 7.0 being allowed only if the distribution they run is
supporting it - within the next few months. This is not just a "let's
modernize!" push; I suspect these out-of-date versions of PHP are not
being updated with security patches. For instance
5.3.10 is used by a few mirrors but I'm not aware of any OS's
maintaining that version.
