PHP 5.4 added a few important features[1], namely

end of life.
I propose we drop support for PHP 5.3 soon, if possible.
I'm in favor of bumping to a 5.4 minimum as well since 5.3 is
approaching its end of life upstream.
As I pointed out on IRC, the question is how quickly the distros
will follow. Right now the current Ubuntu LTS has us stuck on
5.3.something. It looks like 14.04 will have 5.5.8 which is nice
but not out until April :)
