Earlier this year I spoke to a team on PHP 5.1 - EOL was 2006! They have a massive PHP 4 style codebase, all in-house (no framework), a team of devs that knows it intimately and doesn’t want to leave because they have no job prospects. Sadly, judging by emails I get, there are a lot such teams operating in small towns.
