I know PHP 5.3 has now reached EOL, but there is probably still a fair amount of legacy code which breaks with PHP 5.4. I'm not advocating using it, but some people have no choice. If people want it in the ports tree and they understand the risks, shouldn't it be their choice? -- Jim Ohlstein "Never argue with a fool, onlookers may not be able to tell the difference." - Mark Twain
