PHP 5.2 has been around since late 2006. I'm not sure 3.5 years constitutes "soon".
We are aware of the EOL being issued, and do understand that some hosts can be slow in updating. As Larry has said, CakePHP 2.0 will run fine on PHP 5.2.6+ including 5.3 versions. The support for 5.2 means we cannot utilize namespaces and a few other cool features, but we can take it as close as possible to ease the migration path for those users that are under the thumb of their hosting providers. I hope that answers a few questions. Let me know if you have any more. Cheers Graham Weldon (AKA predominant) Sent from my iPhone.
