Absolutely! As I said to Phil in another email just now, the PHP version
isn't going anywhere.
Security updates will be provided indefinitely, and any patches which
are contributed for it will be committed, tested and released.
But the majority of the development and new features (at least from my
side :)) will be going to Vexim 3. If you're happy with Vexim 2 right
now, and there isn't a need to upgrade... well, there's no reason to :-)
