It's not that it came as a big suprise. php5 has been released over
five years ago. Support for php4 has been dropped by upstream
developers over a year ago... So one must wonder when these companies
will be willing to port their stuff and one really does them a favour by
still supplying them with an upsupported php4.

doesn't make one think the packages are of good quality either.
