To be honest, the upgrade isn't that exciting. The only real worthwhile new
feature is traits. Everything else is just random fixes in syntax. As for
the timetable for this, PHP 5.3 isn't going anywhere anytime soon, so
there's no way we can stop supporting it.
What I'm really excited about is PHP 5.5, which has generators, finally
clauses, dereferencing of container literals, and a new password hashing
API. Unfortunately it'll be literally a decade before we switch to that. :(
