I hope PHP 5.3 could be easily rebuilt to run on that.

pick your side
this, I never understood the appeal of "the newest version" when an old stable patched version does the job. only must have features justify upgrading.
I'm thankful that the pace of software has greatly slowed down (in a good way). The changes between RHEL5->RHEL6 are huge compared to RHEL6->RHEL7, and the changes between RHEL7->RHEL8 are minimal IMO.
Same goes for Debian stable releases. I could probably run my desktops/laptops on Debian stable and not feel like I'm behind the times in 1+ years.
