After 2007-12-31 there will be no more releases of PHP 4.4. We will continue to make critical security fixes available on a case-by-case basis until 2008-08-08. Please use the rest of this year to make your application suitable to run on PHP 5. [/quote] so i suppose the support period was announced together with the EOL news but ok, i get the point that you want people to update to php5 asap.
