I don't think you'd find many people here disagreeing with distribution
maintainers providing packages for multiple version at the same time
(like 5.3 and 5.4) - so that suggestion should be brought to these
people. (I know, some are reading this list.)

I've never seen anyone on this list telling a distribution maintainer
not to use /etc/php5.3 or something, please enlighten me if that's not
the case.

Greetings,
Florian
