Is it too late to consider changing the default PHP version used by the
ports system from PHP4 to PHP5 before 6.1-RELEASE?

I'm getting queries from some new-to-FreeBSD users of phpMyAdmin (I'm the=
port
maintainer) who are surprised that if they do:
# cd /usr/ports/databases/phpmyadmin
# make install
on an otherwise php-virgin system, then they end up with PHP4 being insta=
lled.
This tends to be off-putting as an initial experience, and finding out ho=
w
to remove the PHP4 installation and direct the ports system into installi=
ng
PHP5 seems not to be entirely obvious to the beginner.
I think PHP5 is generally considered to be the standard version nowadays
amongst PHP programmers. Indeed another PHP port I maintain will probabl=
y
drop PHP4 support entirely with its next major release.
Cheers,
Matthew
