FWIW I think a minor requirement bump shouldn't be that tragic. If one is ok with using an older PHP version, he will be ok using an older framework version. Afterall 2.2.* should be mature enough to satisfy their requirements.
That said, backporting fixes is pretty much mandatory, and the concerns raised about this are legit. What would have to be backported? Security only or bug fixes in general? More to the point, would the backporting take more effort than sticking with the older PHP version in the first place? If that's the case, the bump may not be completely worth it. I'm not in the position to assess this, but it may be something to consider. P.S. PHP 5.4 will absolutely NOT be EOL in 2014 as stated above, by any stretch of the imagination!
