Just as a counter-argument (and, to be clear, I do support raising our minimum version),
just because PHP has EOL'ed a version does not mean that some distributions (esp.
Debian, Ubuntu) are not providing additional support and security updates.
If I remember from the last time we had this discussion, it will still be a couple more
months before PHP 5.3 is no longer supported by most major distros, and it will be a while
before 5.4 is no longer supported.
