PHP5 is a requirement to run TYPO3 4.2 and PHP4 will not be maintained 
by the developers anymore - no way around here. The doktype issue has 
its own part in the update wizard or can be used with compatMode.

Of course, new releases have new features and require some changes. I 
pointed out in my last post that I can also imagine compatMode and 
upgrade wizard for this RFC.

I didn't say that I would not like the idea. But it's too late to get 
this feature into TYPO3 4.2 after the feature freeze. But, I'm looking 
forward to get this into TYPO3 4.3.
