We kind of just bikeshed it around on the list for a few weeks then
somebody finally bumps it in trunk. That's what happened when
we began requiring 5.2.3
While we await some sort of decision about this, what
is the appropriate
thing to do when we see PHP code that's only compatible with PHP >= 5.3 in
code review? I went ahead and tagged a couple of revisions I saw making use
of late static bindings with 'php5.3' and left them as 'new' pending
some
sort of decision/guidance.
Personally, I'd suggest reverting 5.3-isms until the minimum version
is bumped. But I'm not about to start a holy war over it.
