I'm sure there are going to be PHP6 or later applications as soon as 6 is deemed production quality, and I suspect that may happen well (atleast hope) within the next 5 years. So makes the "won't be able to use" argument kind of pointless, anyway. If you want backwards compatibility there is or will be a whole raft things that you cannot use, like namespaces for instance.
