Well, it is useful as php4 is not supported upstream and we have the
supported branch (although even our php5 version is unsupported now
until I get the update finished).  Removing it from the catalog won't
prevent those that want it from getting it, but we should make those
people 'work' for it and not provide some pretense that it's a
supported package.

Thanks
