So if you're using Triad, I guess you've got less than tens of thousands of
lines of code, but don't have offline backup servers, nor continious
integration testing running.

As long as you stay with with 4.something then you should just need to tweak
your ini files a little. Moving to 5 is more likely to break your code,
particularly if you write OO. The nasty is that it will mostly be semantic
errors that show up. But you're going to have to do it sooner or later.
