This is all fine with me. There are other PHP 5 bits you could  
consider making use of also, like Rdo, Routes, etc. The only downside  
is that you'd be saying Agora will never work with Horde 3.2, and  
there _are_ apps intended to be released with Horde 3.2/for Horde 3.2  
that use the comments API. So perhaps branching a FRAMEWORK_3 version  
of Agora and releasing it while it's stable is in order, and then HEAD  
of Agora can go merrily on to PHP 5/Horde 4.
