Let's consider a situation - I'm developing a project in php 5.2. This
project might work fine on php 5.3 - I don't know I didn't tested it
yet. I'm depending on 5.2 version. Testing this code for a new php
will take some time.

Php 5.3 is considered as stable in F12 - fine for me, but IMHO should
never be considered as an update for F11. Some people depend on some
constant values here - php 5.2, postgres 8.3 etc.

I know that there is a RHEL5/CentOS5 for such things, but this is
pretty outdated OS for my needs.
