As an admin of PHP apps at that time I can sincerely say screw you, you're lying. PHP apps breaking because new version of PHP shat on compatibility was pretty common, and weirdly enough got more common in newer versions.
You also had to keep unholy combo of php extensions (why that garbage is in app server and not app) and server config because the special little retard that designed the app decided he must do something different.
And forget about ever leaving apache, if it doesn't use some apache module to fix PHP/developer ineptitude it will at least have half of the request routing logic in .htaccess file.
