Depreciation is not tied to any versions; the availability of a feature
and E_DEPRECATED warnings about its status are.

This seems to be the core of your misunderstanding. Depreciation of a
feature is unrelated to individual releases. When the PHP project
decides to deprecate mysql, it doesn't matter if you use an older or
newer version, if your version issues warnings or not, or even if you
use PHP at all - the status of the feature is always the same:
deprecated, will be removed in a future version.

What you do with this information is up to you. You've been warned by
people in this group (and by the PHP manual) not to use mysql_* for new
code. For some reason you decided to get all upset about it. As of
version 5.5, PHP itself is issuing E_DEPRECATED warnings about the mysql
extension. If your reaction is to turn the warnings off or rely on older
PHP versions, you're making a mistake. So your hoster is nice enough to
provide legacy PHP versions for you, fine, but even they will eventually
get tired of it.

Obligatory car analogy: when your "check engine" light is flashing,
would you just keep driving and put a sticker over it, or would you do
something about it?

Wonder why it's been so slow... could it be because some people can't be
bothered to upgrade their code for years and years?
