Comment (by sabreuse):

 I'd much rather see a move like @MikeShinkel suggests, to keep moving core
 toward a higher minimum version while also supporting/nudging major hosts
 to do the same. Requiring a minimum version higher than core's for a
 plugin just messes with the end user: after all, the very great majority
 of users have no real control over which PHP version they're using.

 I completely sympathize with wanting to use some of the newer PHP features
 (not to mention wanting to refactor some old ick), but a plugin in public
 release doesn't seem like the place to do it.
