Drop php 4 support?

Ok, here's the thing. In order to get better security and deliver a better server side library, we need to drop php4 support. I've gotten some awesome things working involving the models, but it depends on the php5-only __call magic method. I'm sure we'll run into some other roadblocks as well. Do you think it's worth dropping php4 support in order to deliver a better product? I think so, but I'd like to get some more opinions on the matter before I make the final decision.

Roundcube webmail also dropped php4 support, and they seem to be doing well. I'm not saying that because they did it we should too, but I don't think it would have as much of an impact as say dropping php entirely and using python.

PHP4 isn't old, so that's not the reason.
The reason we should just drop support for it is because the features we are missing. PHP5 has many features which are not available in PHP4, so dropping PHP4 will allow us to use those new features.

Just my opinion.
