Ladies, Gentlemen, Kings and Princesses,

With the nice PHP 5 / PHP 6 unicode semantics thread under way I am 
trying to gauge what people feel about dropping support for PHP 4 at the 
end of this year. That does not mean that we will not fix security 
issues, we have to as the install base is too large, but that would be 
the only thing that would warrant a new release. I already sort of 
mentioned this on april 1st, but I think we should come with a slightly 
more official statement. Your votes please (only -1 and +1 are 
allowed)!

regards,
Derick
