I saw a request for feedback, so here it is:
I have installed PHP 5.2.10 from the testing repo on 2 servers. One is a backup webserver that runs 4 Drupal sites. No issues with any of them so far, and I plan on upgrading the production server this coming weekend. The other is our mail server. It was the catalyst to try the upgrade, as our CEO insisted on getting Roundcube installed and it will not install with any version <5.2.
5.2's release was in Feb. 2008 and it seems to be mature and stable. It's been in Ubuntu since Hardy.
Thanks,
~J~

The 5.2 series has released 5.2.13 and the following security issues were fixed in 5.2.13. * Fixed safe_mode validation inside tempnam() when the directory path does not end with a /). (Martin Jansen) * Fixed a possible open_basedir/safe_mode bypass in session extension identified by Grzegorz Stachowiak. (Ilia) * Improved LCG entropy. (Rasmus, Samy Kamkar)
There are a two or three repo's with 5.2. I wonder if CentOS overhead should be conserved or allocated elsewhere (not an advocate, just a question).

I use CentOS 5.4 i386 with php-5.1.6-24.el5_4.5 + Roundcube 0.3.1 without any problems.

Roundcube 0.3.1 refused to install on our 5.4 server - gave a "Not OK" error and would not go further.

Change the variable MIN_PHP_VERSION in installer/check.php to continue the installation.
I have the updated Roundcube 0.3.1 from its previous version.
Hey all,
just another PHP testing report: We're actually having about five servers running with CentOS and PHP 5.2 from testing, and TYPO3 (Enterprise Content Management System, www.typo3.org) on it, which requires PHP 5.2.
Thank you for having this in the testing repo. Please keep it there (or move it to the default repo).
The following packages are working fine for us:
php-gd-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-soap-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-common-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-pdo-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-cli-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-suhosin-0.9.25-1.el5.centos php-mbstring-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-xml-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-mcrypt-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.3 php-mhash-5.2.9-2.el5.centos.3 php-mysql-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-5.2.10-1.el5.centos php-bcmath-5.2.10-1.el5.centos
Btw... PHP 5.2 was released in 2006.
