Whats the status of 5.3? I have some changes that need to get into a couple
of the xml based extensions in order for them to work with the next libxml2
release next month. Should I be putting these into 5.3 as well?

By no means am I an official representative, but I'd like to see them
NOT put into the 5.3 series.  Security fixes I can understand, but we
WANT people to upgrade.  If we keep developing 5.3 then what's the
point of 5.4 and 5.5?
Until we EOL 5.3 we should make sure it builds against current versions
of common things like libxml2. We also don't have APC ready for all the
new features in 5.4, so it isn't viable to upgrade to it yet for many sites.


Not just APC ... It would be useful to document all the extensions that are still only available in PHP5.3 ( or earlier )...

There seems to be a number of reasons ISP's are giving for not offering PHP5.4 yet but getting a definitive answer seems impossible.
