So, it's not as much the hosting companies that need convincing - it's the vendors that write the Control Panels that have the real authority - they're the ones that need convincing.

I think it would be worth rallying around the flag on this one, and you'll certainly get link juice from me about it, but I don't thin it's a question of hosting company lazyness exclusively.
I am a huge fan of this idea overall, BTW. I think migrating apps to PHP5 will start forcing ISPs to at least provide the option to upgrade since they'll start losing customers if they don't. That's the point.
Indeed.

If the knock-on result is that hosts put pressure on lazy Control Panel companies to get with the 21st century lest the Control Panel companies start losing business, I am perfectly happy with that outcome. :-) The stagnation needs to break somewhere. --Larry Garfield
