 since we still have [http://wordpress.org/about/stats/ a huge percentage]
 on 5.2. Waiting will mean it won't get done.

 It would be nice if we had stats on how many PHP 5.2 users have upgraded
 to WordPress 3.4/3.5, as I ''guess'' many people who don't/can't upgrade
 PHP also don't/can't upgrade WordPress.

 there, so it will want to be in sync with that.

 I agree that this and the magic quotes issue need to get fixed ASAP.
 Perhaps an existing framework component (Symfony2/zf2) isn't the best way
 right now but I'd really like us to consider the API we use and, if
 possible, design it so it could easily be swapped out in the future.
