[Bug 1522422] Re: PHP5 branch and PHP7 branch

[Dan Blows]

For what it's worth, I would really like to see PHP7 in Ubuntu 16.04. Is
there anything I could do to help it to happen?

I wouldn't exactly call PHP7 a revolution - it's faster, and it has some
nice features (particularly valuable for me are return type hinting and
scalar type hinting). I've upgraded a few applications from PHP5.3 to
PHP7.0 without any changes to the code. I did have to change
configuration like where the PHP 7.0 FPM is located, but that was it,
and the speed improvement was noticeable.
