I don't agree but I ain't an active and/or core developer, if they believe additional work that is required if 5.2 is used instead of 5.3+ is worth it for their own projects and thus for cake 2, I am fine with that. Just myself, I would care less about very old php versions (like <5.3) that follow old paradigms. Browsers are one thing, its hard to enforce latest software, I can understand if peeps go for NS4 or IE4 compatibility because its "somewhere out there" and "clients" refuse to upgrade, software and setups up a web host are another thing: if you want you can use lisp and postgres, doesn't matter, you get almost everything for almost nothing regarding costs. If you encage your thoughts about who supports what on the server side, you lost already.
About your argument: domaingo (cheap brand of domainfactory) has php 5.3 support and its 0.99 cent/month (plus maybe setup fees) on a shared host... If your client refuses to pay that I think you won't sell anything worth the work of creation and selling anyway, sorry.
