Out of mind will be planning and development of a Framework based on already PHP version which is at EOL..
In 1 year even 5.5 will reach that point...
An easy answer to your question ..
CI 3 is supporting 5.2 .. How many apps are you going to build based on PHP 5.2 with CI 3?
The answer is 0 I think ?
At the same time CI 3 has 1 big minus related to PHP 5.3 - it doesn't have Namespaces..
I think that there is no point to make the same mistake with next CI..
If you have old site build with CI 1/2 or even CI 3 no body will force you to upgrade it to 4.
But if we want new apps to be build with CI they should be up to date with PHP itself..
I did not say anything about PHP 5.2. nor CodeIgniter 2.
The advantage of having namespaces is not that big. You can easily live without them. In my experience many providers do not support multiple PHP versions and many are on version 5.4, which is supported until September...and that is not 'End Of Life'.
"But if we want new apps to be build with CI they should be up to date with PHP itself.."
Huh? Please read my post again. My beautifully brand new -state of the art- application won't run on the server of many hosting providers. How useful is that? Like I said, be realistic.
You realise that there's no way that CI4 is released before September, right?
