We should have stayed on PHP4 if this is a trouble. Perfomance may be a problem (which is not much in 5.4 iirc), syntax flaws may be a problem (and this one fixes one of the flaws). Yes, it will take us some time to upgrade MW to 5.4 or 5.5, but deprecations are detected by any contemporary PHP IDE, and it is a matter of minutes to fix them.
Sure, these are just bugs that need fixing. Someone has to go through the codebase and fix them, though.
