@vinc-q @jegr An upstream unmaintained code would be total no-go, but still having two versions of PHP in the main is a quite big burden for Ubuntu folks.
I could afford to run PPAs with multiple PHP versions, because I have the liberty of saying: "upstream bug, bummer" and do nothing about it if I don't have time or motivation to fix it. That's the freedom Ubuntu folks don't have, so I am at their side. Just look at the PHP bug lists (both in Debian and Ubuntu).
