"I'm happy to announce that WordPress is not going to be changing 
anything and will continue its PHP support as it has for the past 4 years."

I know we don't post to the blog enough, but that's really scraping the 
bottom of the barrel.

It does not matter to our users, especially since we're taking the path 
of maximum compatibility. The whole point is that they should never have 
to think about things like that.

For developers, it's pretty hard to miss my blog post and the hundreds 
of messages on wp-hackers. If they did, it probably doesn't matter to 
them either.
