actually, I think they didn't intend to say that php5 is beta, but
rather that it's still too new to install on their server(it sounds
as the email is from a non-native english speaker). it's the same
reasoning behind still having apache1 on a server.

yes, I agree completely with you on that, upgrading to php5 is right
now a big pain, and it's not worth the risk. even simple programs can
have different behaviours on different php versions, so upgrading
everything to php5 is not a solution.
the only real solution I've found so far would be to have one server
with php4 and another with php5(I'm talking of different physical
machines), and just get your customers on one or another depending on
their php version, but it's a solution that's overkill(at least for me),
and, in my particular case, no one has asked for php5 support, and
probably more than 20 people would have to ask for it to justify the
cost of another server.

that would be cool
