Nah, php7 is not a revolution. php5 over php4 broke API too much, but php7 is much more close to php5.6 than php3 to php4 or php4 to php5 ever was.

And php5.6 follow the same support pattern as all php 5.x versions before: http://php.net/supported-versions.php

Thus I don't think Debian would ever release with two versions of PHP -> stretch will have only 7.x (most probably 7.1) and I really advice Ubuntu to do the same.

If you need to run 5.6, you can do that will older Ubuntu release.
