I suspect some apps can only be reasonably ported one way or the other. But one would hope that an app could make the choice to go either way, and not have a nightmare experience. The purpose of the PHP Devs doing a port is not to release both versions, or either version, but to find out if it can actually be done without major grief for either version. -- Some people have a "gift" link here.
