Horde et al suffered from new reserved words, the known
return-non-variables-by-reference-problem, the changed array_merge()
behaviour/notification and not working on-the-fly-generation of stdClass
objects. It's not that much of a problem for us as we will release new
major versions near to the PHP 5 release, that will be tested with PHP
HEAD.

Jan.
