(Get the code!)
For what it's worth, I would really like to see PHP7 in Ubuntu 16.04. Is there anything I could do to help it to happen?
I wouldn't exactly call PHP7 a revolution - it's faster, and it has some nice features (particularly valuable for me are return type hinting and scalar type hinting). I've upgraded a few applications from PHP5.3 to PHP7.0 without any changes to the code. I did have to change configuration like where the PHP 7.0 FPM is located, but that was it, and the speed improvement was noticeable.
