If one stays with Centos 5.x (currently on 5.6) is the problem/enhancement/incompatibility involving PHP53 likely to be resolved by general updates and/or the introduction of Centos 5.7 ?

Me too. I have working Drupal installs that I want to move up a version (to 7.4) but need 5.3. I'm reluctant to do this until I have some experience in hand about whether it will go smoothly. Yum picks up the updates but so far I have refrained.
Anyone have experience on this?

Redhat has basically come out and said they aren't going to fix the Provides: and lack of mcrypt with php53.
Solution: don't use the CentOS php53 and use that provided by IUS instead. That works right.

You can download the source package and compile the module. This doesn't require as many many devel dependencies on a production system as it would to rebuild the php rpm. You will need to repeat this for php upgrades. The only unpackaged files installed on your system besides the files in /usr/src/redhat, which can be deleted, are mcrypt.so and mcrypt.ini.
yum install php53-devel libmcrypt-devel cd wget http://mirror.centos.org/centos/5.6/updates/SRPMS/php53-5.3.3-1.el5_6.1.src.... mkdir /usr/src/redhat rpm -i php53-5.3.3-1.el5_6.1.src.rpm cd /usr/src/redhat bunzip2 php-5.3.3.tar.bz2 tar xf php-5.3.3.tar cd php-5.3.3/ext/mcrypt phpize aclocal ./configure make make install echo “extension=mcrypt.so” > /etc/php.d/mcrypt.ini service httpd restart
