So I think we need release a new version without suhosin patch and
check the compatibility of all ports that depend on it (before), and
then when suhosin will appear (if there), then simply add it to the
port.

For me personally actual version 5.2 (for really old scripts that are
used by our customers and I support this version in backports) and the
new version 5.4 for new installations
