[support] Database Drivers unreachable (dependecy hell)

[Earnie Boyd]

Tim,

In this exchange I notice you're using PHP 5.4.  Drupal is not ready
for PHP 5.4 and will cause you issues.  By the time D8 becomes fully
available it is possible that it will be usable with 5.4.  D6 will
never be and D7 is patched occasionally but certainly not to the
extent that D8 is.
