I'm not only coding for myself, but I clearly state that my scripts
require a PHP 5 server and usually I'm the one who decides where to host
a site.

Similarly you can't expect modern software to run on an old system like
Windows 3.1 anymore. And PHP 4 _is_ old. At some point you simply have
to draw the line.
