the problem is that most php code out there is useless crap

i maintain some hundret thousands line of codes since 10 years
and did every php-upgrade even 4.x to 5.x without having more
than a handful lines to optimize / replace

the reason is that most developers out there too stupid to use
E_ALL | E_STRICT on their machines and do not see any warnings
while we have this error-level actibe on some hundret domains

all scripts /applications have to run with this settings or
fixed or removed from our servers - and would most developers
act the same way you could easily upgrade to each php-version

so crappy applications have to be removed from the distributions
to prevent the neagtive impact of "never use any new features
because most servers out there are for years outdated"
