the vote is now
open for the PHP 5 Support Timeline RFC:
https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php56timeline#vote
Hi,
We've discussed this at length at AFUP, and would be +1 to extend the
lifetime of PHP 5, by a huge margin.
As for the duration, we would be on the 1+1 year side, by a smaller margin.
Basically:
- Not everyone will switch to PHP 7 right away, so extending support,
especially for security, seems necessary.
- But extending it for too long could give a wrong message to some
users, like "no need to upgrade"; and we don't want that.
- Also, after a while, we would prefer time being spent on 7.x instead
of used maintaining 5.x for years.
- And, in any case, some users will never upgrade, no matter how long
5.x is maintained... that's just how it is.
Thanks
