I can't say anything as to what majorities think, but while I did not want
a PHP 5.7 release, with the large amount of additional work and
fragmentation of focus it would have implied, this does not make me adverse
to extending the PHP 5.6 support cycle. I would go as far as saying that us
not having done a PHP 5.7 release is an argument in favor of prolonging
support for PHP 5.6, not the reverse.
