Of course they could try to stick to the current version of PHP on the 
server, but of course then they will be stuck with all the security 
issues which may be in the PHP (we seen a number of such this year) or 
try to bakcport fixes to the PHP source code and build it.

Of course the absolute simplest thing to do is to fix the PHP scripts, 
have to agree with Thomas and Jerry on this one.
