PHP 5.5 and 5.6 aren't yet widely spread. But why?

The problem is that those versions deprecated several well known features of very old scripts. I, as a small hosting provider, simply know that if I upgrade to 5.5, customers who cannot afford to upgrade old Moodle's, old phpBB's, old whatever, will find their sites broken. And not-that-old-scripts will break too, because PHP 5.5 is abandoning the mysql_query function and related in favor of the modern mysqli_query() or PDO based, so that many custom scripts and plainly a big amount of PHP scripts using MySQL databases will start to fail (thanks Oracle!) (I like to think that if Oracle wouldn't have bought MySQL this wouldn't happened).

So, I'm waiting for the cPanel guys to officially start supporting multiple versions of PHP in the same server, to be able to provide stock cPanel without customizations, supporting PHP 5.3, 5.4, 5.5 and 5.6 in the same box. I wonder if once this feature is implemented, those graphics will start to change...
