step 1 requires horrible code and so much work
and with step 2 you have even more work to
get the trash from step 1 clean

so let them run on a old machine with php 4

the devleopment cycle will die because you trash too much time
with nonsense work resulting in sleeping since years

no way to get it without because if your code is so ugly
that it will not run with PHP5 you have so much changes
you can not do on live-systems - remind that all your
changes to be backward compatible can have side-effects
in PHP4 and PHP5

We migrated 5 years ago to php5 and it took 2 hours
because we are running the highest error-reporting in
production and so we seen deprecated warnings long
before and made the code clean

What you do is a migration over 3 major-versions
Yes, 5.2->5.3 is in some cases the same as 4->5
and this is a path which does not really exist

have fun but let me remember that if you do this so
the chance to shoot all down and waste much more
time as making a branch for 5.3 with code-cleanups
outside production level and update after all
is done
