In reply to Matt.

So an outdated, insecure, relatively poor performing PHP version can be supported ad nauseum, because it might break somebody's site, not to, but when it comes to editors, whether we like it or not, whether the replacement is a crock or not, whether it breaks sites or not, and even if it screws up anyone's business, or not, now all of a sudden its a question of "innovate or die"? That's just about the lamest excuse yet.
