Please consider the high level (to do not say almost 100%) of
compatibility of PHP 5.4 with 5.3. This is a much lower jump than from
5.2 to 5.3. The same will apply to 5.4+1.

With a good communication, and we need you guys from the
apps&frameworks areas, we will surely reduce the adoption time frame
between releases.

Cheers,
