I think it is really strange that people actually think about no longer supporting something that is -in fact- the biggest part of their success: the fact that PHP and MySQL is available on nearly every host.

Within a few months, the bulk of the developers will have moved on to a CMS that they can actually install, using the tools and systems they have available or can afford.

There is no doubt about this. All discussion on PHP5 and OOP is based on equal availability in common hostings, etc., for a time when PHP5 is as omnipresent as PHP4 is now. The problem is, that obviously that will come in time, but we should be thinking about the implications of migration now. A paradigm shift cannot come at the drop of a hat either.
