A number of projects have joined together and set a date (February 5, 2008) on which they are all going to switch to PHP 5 together to break the current vicious cycle where webhosts don't move to PHP 5 because applications still need PHP 4 and applications don't move to PHP 5 because webhosts still support PHP 4. Should Moodle join? See http://gophp5.org/
According to the GoPHP5.org website, the initiative asks that projects, "Make an announcement on your site that by February 5, 2008 you will accept PHP 5.2 features into your codebase and will no longer provide support for lesser PHP versions."
So if Petr's post is correct, Moodle could not yet completely endorse this initiative.
