we're supporting 2.11 branch already for quite some time and it's probably time to drop this support in near future.
There still might be people stuck with PHP < 5.2, however I don't think this group is large nowadays and it is not worth supporting this old codebase.
Thereby I propose to stop providing security support for 2.11 branch in near future. Two dates came to my mind: 1st January 2010 or 5th February 2010 (2 years from goPHP5 initiative).
Okay, given the feedback, I'd got for end of 2011. At least this is what the official announcement should say.
Let's say 2012-01-01, it looks better ;)
It might be actually longer because as Thijs mentioned, Debian will need to support it a bit longer. As I'm both phpMyAdmin developer and Debian package maintainer, it is probably easier for me to do the work first in the git for 2.11 branch and then push it to Debian.
I did not believe we were tied by Debian needs...
