These are good ideas and generally what is happening. VB 3.8.7 (soon to be 3.8.8) is still receiving important security updates and even support for PHP 5.4.x.
Also even with VB 5.x, you can upgrade directly from VB 3.8 without having to upgrade to 4.x first, so a direct upgrade path was included from the start.
My
feeling is the sheer market share of VB 3.x means we will see it supported in some way for a long time to come.
