Comment(by DD32):

 Yes, You're right i've missed the Classes stuff and interfaces. But the
 point still stands, Quite a lot of the "extras" introduced in general, do
 not allow many more WordPress things to happen than current, Sure, It'll
 run faster, You've got Iterator's (A fancy object loop..)  and a couple of
 extensions.. - But Is there anything that cant be  done under PHP 4.3
 right now, which WordPress *needs*?

 I'm not saying PHP5 is useless. I'm just saying, That on the whole, Theres
 no immediate requirement for WordPress to become PHP4.4+ or 5.1+ or
 whatever else. (Thats ignoring the fact it'd be crazy to do so given host
 support)

 When all the hosters have moved to PHP 5.2+ feel free to re-open a ticket,
 but until then, I think its better left to the realm of wp-hacker endless
 discussion. (Thats the reason i've closed this off so fast, I dont think
 we need to get into a PHP5 argument/discussion on trac, Its better left to
 a discussion place, and leave trac alone to get on with dealing with bugs)
