The people that run the PHP project have done what they said they would - they've discontinued their support for PHP 4. Just last week they released version 4.4.9 meaning that it will apparently be the last time an update is released for PHP 4. All work by the team now will be focused on PHP 5, and stabilising and adding features to PHP 6.
Fortunately the majority of web hosts have now moved over to PHP 5, but there are still some that haven't. I don't see support for PHP 4 ending as being a bad thing, I don't think it's really going to affect anyone really - even if they are still developing for 4.
