Comment(by hakre):

 I think this is pretty much important if I imagine all the unfixed holes
 in PHP 4 that might render wordpress as a web-drone.
 [http://wordpress.org/development/2009/09/keep-wordpress-secure/ Matt's
 motto of the month is "keep current"], so therefore we should really
 higher the presure on the userbase that they keep current with php as
 well. Keep in mind PHP 5.2.11 / 5.3.0 are the current stable versions.

 I know that such messages frighten the users very much. In those cases
 they do not know how to update they will literally go crazy. But at least
 we should place a message so that we can say (as well as matt did it):
 hey, we (ever) said, update your PHP version.
