What disadvantages?

Sounds like the band waggon to me.. the *only* disadvantage to not using PHP5 is the somewhat lack of hosting support for it.

The only way people will jump to it is if there is a guarantee that PHP 4 code will run without problems. If they break backwards compatibility then you will have the same issue with PHP 6 that you currently have with PHP 5. Hosts will be hesitant to upgrade if there is still the fear that old sites written using PHP 4 will fail.
