I'm really perplexed by this php53 stack in EPEL-5
The full PHP stack count more than 200 packages (145 pear, 25 pecl, ...)
And I'm the maintainer for > 100 packages.
I don't plan to go in the "review" hell for this... too big work.
And php53 create more dependency issues that it is usefull, I think.
I only consider this, as a "preview" (test) version to ensure application are compatible before upgrading to EL-6.
If some maintainers (such as drupal in the pointed link) switch their app to require php53, it will remove the choice of the php version used to the final user.
Definitively, I'm lost.
