We do provide such packages ( eg. php5 and mysql5 ), in alternative
non-core repositories. ( eg. CentOS Plus ). These are disabled by
default. User intervention is required to get them enabled / setup.
Using a standard install and not changing parameters on your package
manager ensures you stay with the base distro, which tracks upstream only.
