When are they planning to completely drop php4 support ?

I'm not totally sure, but so far I haven't found any indication that
they will.
Also etch includes php4, and it is the stable release for some more
years, so logically they won't/can't drop php4.

I might be wrong though :-)


Anyway switching away from php4 ASAP is the best one can do.
Any other solution is only a hack and means additional unnecessary work :-)
