Comment(by imadden@…):

 Replying to [comment:4 ryandesign@…]:
 > I don't think we're talking here about "site maintainers" (people
 writing and hosting PHP web sites); indeed, they should either upgrade
 their site to be PHP 5.3-compatible, or not upgrade their PHP installation
 to 5.3. Rather, I think we're talking about people who want to use others'
 PHP-based web apps, which may not yet be PHP 5.3-compatible.

 That is a very good point.  One example I can think of off the top of my
 head is something like Joomla.  It has not been tested on PHP 5.3 yet, so
 where Joomla will still run on PHP 5.3, it runs very buggy.  Being able to
 use PHP 5.2.10 until Joomla has been properly tested on PHP 5.3 would be
 very helpful.
