Unfortunately most webhosts and end users are still reluctant to
commit fully to php5. As a result, CMS developers are reluctant to
drop support for php4, since they would lose a significant chunk of
their potential (and actual) userbase. Drupal, for example, won't drop
php4 support in core until the Drupal 7.0 release, and they'll
continue to provide php4 compatibility for all releases < 7.0.

I'm not saying this is how it should be. I'd love for everyone to move
to php5. But the market doesn't make that very viable right now. See
Dries Buytaert's thoughts on the whole mess here:

Honestly, I don't know of an answer for you, short of rolling your
own. Perhaps it's time to branch cake, expression engine or typo3 to
create a php5 strict release?
