Currently maintaining the 5.2 branch is essential until such time as all extensions are available in official builds of PHP on windows! Forcing projects to change their development platforms simply to support a blinkered set of rules on PHP is not helpful in moving the project forward. How many extensions are currently stable in 5.2 on windows but not supported in 5.3? Private builds of the extensions in 5.3 are running without problems .... but having to direct users to other sites is as bad as the current fragmentation in the core code?
Nobody is arguing against maintaining 5.2 for the near-mid future. If you want Windows binaries, start building . . . .
