PEAR is PHP5 compatible. But you probably meant E_STRICT compatible. 
Yes, I agree that PEAR needs to become once again a place for features 
missing in PHP and not a place for legacy code.

Anyways I brought up PEAR more as an example of what our current 
userbase looks like. Mostly doing PHP4 and where its PHP5 its often 
written to also be compatible with PHP4. By increasing the burden on 
keeping this "duality" we might get more people to make the jump which 
might put enough pressure on hosters to finally break the chicken and 
egg situation with PHP5.
