"An ugly programming language"? PHP syntatically follows the same style as Perl and C, so you're basically saying all three are ugly?

I honestly think that Perl and C++ are ugly. And C to some extent, too.

PHP is an ugly programming language. Just look at a comparison with some other languages to get a feel for its ugliness: http://hyperpolyglot.org/scripting

But, in the long-term, it could very well mean continuing to be dragged down by support for legacy sub-systems.

GNOME replaces legacy sub-systems, too. For example Bonobo with D-Bus, GnomeVFS with GIO, libglade with GtkBuilder, etc. The GIO port is almost done: http://live.gnome.org/GioPort I don't see why supporting a subsystem until it is fully replaced by another drags down development.
