Comment 123 for bug 1522422

@Nish thanks for clarification :) I can fully understand the decision, but it's still a burden for any PHP5 project there having only a three year LTS from Ubuntu left. Just been to a Drupal Conference this weekend and for example we will probably never see Drupal 7 in production "on anything" other than trusty or in the long run CentOS/RHEL (they will support PHP5 the ultralong enterprise way).

Anyway great to have PHP 7.0 in and big thanks for all you effort. Now the whole PHP community needs to migrate to PHP7 and all data centers will be happy then running xenial :)

BTW: My personal burden is that i can't update all our trusty servers to xenial now and can't finally consolidate to systemd (having also RHEL servers). In general that means a big maintenance burden to Ubuntu admins, as you will not only start to have two production systems but also two staging and two development systems with xenial and trusty. So while PHP7 has 2x times less resource usage i will have 2x times resources spend on not being able to consolidating and combining all servers to Ubuntu 16.04 ;) ;) ;)
