hi,
It should have been done before 5.4.0 was out, but better late than
never.
I put together four options here:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php53eol
I'm in favor of option #1, as it gives enough time to our users to
migrate by reducing the maintenance period to only one year.
I'd go with another option:
One year of bug fixes, one year of security fixes and bug fixes that are
trivial to backport.
The truth is most of the time is less trouble to just merge the fix to
oldstable than
1) determine if the bug is possibly exploitable
2) ask the RM for approval
3) merge the fix
4) probably then you also have to remove the entry from stable NEWS to
oldstable NEWS
Plus, 5.3 won't accumulate known bugs so quickly.
