There is a reason to treat it differently: extension support. Upgrading the core and core extensions is relatively painless. Many popular extensions are rapidly moving towards PHP7 support. But there must be thousands of extensions out there, that we have no knowledge of. For people that have already done a port to PHP7 the next one is relatively simple. But porting your first one has a steep learning curve. -- Jan -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
