I don't understand their version system. Usually an 8.3 would replace 8.2 not coexist and the older one be maintained. Normally you would tell everybody to upgrade.
 
@floyd PHP.net maintains 3 versions in same time. Old one, current stable, newest one. Usually lifetime 3 years (32-40 releases).

PHP: Supported Versions

PHP is a popular general-purpose scripting language that powers everything from your blog to the most popular websites in the world.

Supported Versions​

Each release branch of PHP is fully supported for two years from its initial stable release. During this period, bugs and security issues that have been reported are fixed and are released in regular point releases.

After this two year period of active support, each branch is then supported for an additional year for critical security issues only. Releases during this period are made on an as-needed basis: there may be multiple point releases, or none, depending on the number of reports.

Once the three years of support are completed, the branch reaches its end of life and is no longer supported. A table of end of life branches is available.
 
btw.. will there be a DA-version where more than 4 php-versions are supported?

I don't know of any other piece of software that does this. Usually the next version replaces the old one.
