[wp-hackers] php -v

[Matt Sowden]

I don't think it hurts in any way to stay on 5.2 right now honestly, seeing as if you want to upgrade to 5.3 it can be done with no issue, as stated earlier. It'll cause more problems than it will solve, if it even solves any.

Minimum != Required

I’ve often thought that the lead devs should just announce that support for 5.2 will be dropped by a certain date, and see what happens.
