Heya,

it's August 8th, which is the date of official discontinuation of any
work on php-4 (even security-related) on upstream-side [1] [2].
On gentoo, =dev-lang/php-4* has already been masked for security reasons
since Oct 19th 2007, along with everything which depends on it. Removal
from our tree was initially announced for Jan 1st 2008, but we decided
to postpone it until today to give users even more time to migrate.

That means, I'm going to remove all php-4-related things today:
* dev-php4/ (will be done by infra)
* dev-lang/php/php-4*

Basically: Everything explicitly listed in package.mask because of php-4.

Also, several adjustments to ebuilds, which are still referring to
dev-php4/* names (e.g. because of blocks or "|| ( a b )" deps), will be
made by me today.

If you (or your company) have still not upgraded (you probably should
not run such a setup anyway, at least if it's publicly accessible), you
might be interested in the yet to be created php4 overlay [3], which
will be accessible using layman once it is available.
