Just as a counter-argument (and, to be clear, I do support raising our minimum version), just because PHP has EOL'ed a version does not mean that some distributions (esp. Debian, Ubuntu) are not providing additional support and security updates.
If I remember from the last time we had this discussion, it will still be a couple more months before PHP 5.3 is no longer supported by most major distros, and it will be a while before 5.4 is no longer supported.
That's true, here's the specific EOL dates for common distros with PHP 5.3
Debian 6.0 is supported until February 2016 and has PHP 5.3.3
Ubuntu 12.04 is supported until April 2017 and has PHP 5.3.10
RHEL 6/Centos is supported until June 2017 (and limited supported until 2020) and has PHP 5.3.3 (but they also provide officially supported 5.4/5.5 packages)
