Hi, all It's really hard to make a decision here because you also have to care about big companies in one way, that have not updated to PHP 5.3 now ... But instead of that I read some posts from November last year that they have PHP6 in their control-panel, what is basically PHP 5.4 beta ...
One or two years is way to short if you'd ask me. A major release should be supported with all kind of bug fixes for min. 3 years after a new release has been brought out. Specially if it's a wide-spread language like PHP that has been implemented by such big and lazy companies. Please do not misunderstand that. Lazy is not meant in the way that they are doing nothing, but that it takes way more time as it does for me installing a new PHP version on my 2-3 servers.
