Actually there are 28 open bugs marked only for PHP 4.
There are 106 open bugs marked for PHP 5, of which about 80% are also
found in PHP 4. So really, count of open bugs for PHP 4 is about 100.
Feature/change requests are not bugs.

If you would ask only me, the support has already ended.
If bug is only found in PHP 4, I don't care. But that's just me.
Derick will propably support PHP 4 until PHP 6 is out. :)

AFAICT, 4.4 will be the last of PHP 4 branches. There will be no new
features in PHP 4. Most of the active developers concentrate on PHP 5 and/or 6.
