After studying php-fpm architecture, I think the best handling is to support php7 as php7-fpm. Instead of using mod_php, Apache will have to connect to php7 through mod_proxy_fcgi. With proper setting, one can have both php5-fpm and php7-fpm run in parallel. The Apache server can then support both PHP version at the same time.
OK, OK. I was here because I didn't find php7-fpm in the current repository. And I really want to use it.
I've manually compiled it for my use, but I want an official package that will automatically have updates and patches.
