PHP 5.3 status

I've seen several threads that mention a recommendation that OpenScholar be used with PHP 5.2, rather than 5.3 (or 5.4). The most recent of these I have seen was from March 2012, so I was wondering if this is still the recommendation?

If this is the case, what are the issues that would appear when using 5.3? I ask because the server admins I work with are not likely to want to downgrade PHP. Thus far in my test instance I am seeing dozens of "strict warnings", but nothing more serious; i have suppressed the warnings by setting error_reporting to E_ERROR, which is allowing me to continue working for now.

Thanks for any help,
Matt

As a follow-up to my own question, I've got OpenScholar running both on my local laptop and a test server, both with various branches of PHP 5.3.x. So far, nothing has blown up.
