To rephrase my question: Should we treat PHP-7.0 the same way we treat
PHP-5.6 and other release branches (i.e. all kinds of bug fixes are okay,
even if it's just improving a test or fixing some inconsequential
behavior), or do you want to limit the PHP-7.0 branch to actually critical
fixes now? From what you say, I assume the former rather than the latter?
