[Bug 1522422] Re: PHP5 branch and PHP7 branch

Thu Jan 7 17:38:41 UTC 2016

Here's a thought: I don't know anyone running Ubuntu servers who's using
the stock PHP because it's usually too old. People either use Ondrejs
PPAs, compile themselves or use some other vendor (i.e. Plesk provided
packages).

PHP 5.6 support ends August 2017. That's 9 months of backporting
security fixes. PHP 7.0 is supported until December 2018.

If you ask me, this is a no-brainer. Ship the latest available version
with every LTS. @Ondrej, thanks for your awesome work!
