For 1.1, as the issue says :)

Well, it's about some bug fixes and obviously there have been security
releases of PHP in the meantime.

Some distributors backport security fixes, this will always be a problem
- it might even be an option for an admin to adjust the checked version
in FLOW3.

But I'd always use a version as recent as possible anyway. And if my
distribution did not offer any way other then recompiling, nowadays I'd
switch it. :)

I'll be trying on 5.4 later this week. The tests ran fine some weeks
back. So it should be possible to leverage the performance improvements
of 5.4 without problems - at least soon :)
