To clarify:

It's one thing to be an API change that was made in a specific PHP  
version.  This can be worked around and is known at the time the code  
is written.

However, the present issue is entirely a PHP issue - not a Horde/IMP  
issue.  The code added to Horde/IMP is 100% valid code according to  
the PHP 5.3 documentation.

The problem is that people are relying on 2+ year old software.   
Distribution packaging may work for a user application.  It does not  
work for a package that contains a documented, final-word API, like PHP.

Running a 2 year old programming language interpreter (+ security  
patches!) is not acceptable in the real world.  This is just another  
example.
