Red Hat uses it, that's why we extended the end of life date. This is due to an older PHP version.
According to distrowatch [1] (I could not find better source right now), RHEL 6 has 5.3.3 and RHEL 5 has 5.1.6.
Looking at other distros, I've found only Fedora 7 with 5.2.2 being affected by this bug, but that's from 2007 and without any support now.
IMHO the biggest reason for supporting longer 4.0 is to support MySQL older than 5.5, which is way more common than PHP 5.2.
