obviously adam's going to be the best judge of what's going on wrt php3,
but afaict there's no need of php3 that can't be satisfied by
php4 (which is completely backwards compatible with v3 in every case
i know of), so i don't see why we can't just remove it and have v4 fill
in the void.
my worries for this are twofold:
- sarge is around the corner, and keeping it in means maintaining
it for possibly another 2-4 years! if it's *already* no longer
maintained upstream...
- php5 is also around the corner, and having versions 3, 4, and 5 all
in the archive at the same time will lead to not only archive/mirror
bloat (which is considerable by itself), but also probably a very
complicated set of interdepenencies and very frustrating bugs
resulting from said dependencies.
