hi, It should have been done before 5.4.0 was out, but better late than never. I put together four options here: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php53eol I'm in favor of option #1, as it gives enough time to our users to migrate by reducing the maintenance period to only one year.
I'd go with another option: One year of bug fixes, one year of security fixes and bug fixes that are trivial to backport. The truth is most of the time is less trouble to just merge the fix to oldstable than 1) determine if the bug is possibly exploitable 2) ask the RM for approval 3) merge the fix 4) probably then you also have to remove the entry from stable NEWS to oldstable NEWS Plus, 5.3 won't accumulate known bugs so quickly. -- Gustavo Lopes
