I see no reason to keep php4. On a tangential issue, php52 should probably be kept around, at least for now. I know of at least one port (www/gallery) which breaks under the latest PHP due to deprecated function calls which make a mess of websites using the port (warning messages that should go to a logfile are displayed on the webpage itself). I think these ports should be deprecated, giving users ample time to migrate to newer ports (e.g. migration of gallery to gallery3 is somewhat involved). -- Cheers, Cy Schubert FreeBSD UNIX: Web: http://www.FreeBSD.org The need of the many outweighs the greed of the few.
