Subject: [RFC] discussions, about a 5.3 EOL
From: pierre.php@gmail.com (Pierre Joye)

hi,

It should have been done before 5.4.0 was out, but better late than never.

I put together four options here:

https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php53eol

I'm in favor of option #1, as it gives enough time to our users to
migrate by reducing the maintenance period to only one year.

Suggestions or comments welcome,

Cheers,
