Plesk 11.5 defaults to PHP 5.3.3. Upgrade to 5.3.10?

My Plesk 11.5 includes PHP 5.3.3 as the default, a version that is over three years old. I know I can select other version of PHP, but can't the default version of be updated? The next Drupal v8 is complaining that it requires at least 5.3.10, though the latest 5.3.27 would be preferred as it is the last in the line.

Plesk does not ship PHP, it only installs PHP shipped by OS vendor. Which OS do you use?

Ah yes, I see that my Redhat CentOS 5.9 (Final) is responsible for this. I'll go and have moan at them, although this seems standard across other distribution, so I'm guessing there is a good reason for it.
