It's more than shared hosts - RHEL4 uses 4.3.9. It still gets security updates through the RH backports system and will continue to for years to come.
Yes, but is that real 4.3.9 or is that "Red Hat's bastardized 4.3.9"? I've learned over the years to simply not trust Red Hat's version numbering to be in any way related to the official package version numbering, as they like to backport things without changing a version number.
And no, I really don't think we should keep PHP 4 support until 2012. :-)
It's the bastardized one, but they only backport security stuff not features so it's not really confusing as to what it is. It's 4.3.9 features plus updated security. http://www.redhat.com/advice/speaks_backport.html And I agree, sometime between now and 2012 most people will move off of php4.3 and somewhere in there, great, we drop it.
