>> Do you base the minimum PHP version on upstream or what is supported by LTS versions of common distros? I see on the download page that you plan to support 4.0.10.x until Jan 1, 2017. Do you have plans to support a version of phpMyAdmin throughout the lifetime of those distros? Is it instead up to each distro to provide a package with backported fixes?

Robert Scheck was kind enough to reply to my inquiry about LTS, so:

 - RHEL/CentOS 5 will support PHP 5.1 (and optionally 5.3) as well as
MySQL 5.0 until 2017-03-31

 - RHEL/CentOS 6 will support PHP 5.3 and MySQL 5.1 until 2020-11-30

 - RHEL/CentOS 7 will support PHP 5.4 and MariaDB 5.5 until 2024-06-30
