Honestly, I don’t think Debian will switch to PHP 7, nor will any other distro, because it’s a new major version and it breaks things. `php` will probably continue to be PHP 5, they’ll add `php7`, prolong 5.6 or 5.7’s life for five years, and eventually switch `php` over to 7. >> 2, would allow us to stabilize 5.6 instead of keep adding stuff to it >> continuously . > > New features in 5.6 should be rejected and added to 7.0 to give users > more reasons to upgrade.
