Yeah, a new version of PHP wouldn't break anything. They deprecate functions long before they remove them, they're not just going to release something that will break a bunch of previous code. I even ran a copy of DevBB which was designed for something around PHP 4 on a modern PHP version and it worked fine.

Edit:
Looking back I actually had to change the name of one variable they had named $this as that caused errors, but other than that it was fine. Still, I think we can update the docs within a decade of it breaking.
