I mean, PHP is *notoriously* bad at breaking code between versions without any warning -- hell, I've seen apps stop working between minor revisions of PHP. Here, you have a huge jump from 4 to 5, with developers widely cautioning everyone that things will, likely, break because of so many underlying changes. Any ISPs blindly upgrading their versions of PHP are... well, not very good at what they do, to put it mildly. Besides, Fedora Core is not what I would call a well-considered choice for a web server with lots of paying customers. The paradigm of Fedora is -- "you get the latest and the greatest," which is great if you're a geek who likes to tweak things, and not so great if you have other things to consider.
