You should of said this from the beginning. :-)

Look, I'm new to PHP development *only*!! <g>  I'm not the type to step 
on toes, nor buck the system, but I prefer the technical details.

Technically, IMO, I can understand binary conflicts with 5.x vs 5.y, but 
not with 5.x.a and 5.x.b.  These should be binary compatible updates. 
If not, then increase x.

Just imagine the productivity and support gains when you don't have to 
recompile for very simple minor update.

Again, I am not here to buck the system.  But if I can make suggestions, 
I will. :-)
