It is more than enough time for people to upgrade and >adapt. It ain't. If you have got large sites that are built with a framework that requires an older PHP-version you will have to (a) convince the site owner that an upgrade is absolutely necessary, (b) agree on the functional specs of the site after the upgrade, (c) agree on a price quote with the content owner, (d) get that quote accepted by the purchase department of the site owner. Each of these steps can easily take several months and then you are not even starting building. -- Jan
