Not in this case. Old PHP 4 code (regarding constructors) works through
all PHP 5.x - New PHP 5 code has been working for the last 6 or 7 years
worth of PHP releases and will continue to work. Code which has
duplicate constructors (or one calling the other) will work on both
platforms (only regarding constructors).
+1 for the change even though or because it will separate some of the
PEAR heritage from modern platforms if unchanged/unmaintained.
