Sorry I beg to disagree.
php 5.4 is unsupported upstream, and 5.5 will EOL in a few months. You
should complain to the php project about this, not the ports tree,
which
is just complying with upstream.
You are correct, however I think php is a special case, because it's a
slow adopter, sadly a lot of hosting providers have not updated and a
lot of software is still not compatible with the latest versions. For
example, the default version of php in CentOS 7 is still 5.4, so I don't
see why removing it from ports was a good idea.
