Sad, I needed it, since some apps that we are hosting require 5.2.4+ . I'm currently running the version 5.2.5 from the yjl.repo. But I'd appreciate to have a more official one, of course.

I always get frustrated with apps requiring the latest and greatest versions of PHP, etc., before they are made available for the major distributions.

Is it that the very newest feature is really indispensable and the app can't possibly make do without it, or just because the developer has the bleeding-edge version on his own box and doesn't make the effort to test his app with more mainstream versions?
