Comment 44 for bug 1522422

My team has been running Ondřej's PPA for PHP 7 for the last month.
We run it on Ubuntu 14.04 with nginx 1.8 using WordPress. So far there has not been any issues with it.
My team, boss, and especially our Clients have been so happy to have things run much faster.
Thanks Ondřej

At this point we can not go back. We are fully invested with PHP7.
Even the community around us is jumping right in. We are seeing blog posts, info-graphics, benchmark stats, etc all being passed around.

We use AWS Opsworks with Chef to configure our servers.
So Option 2 is ideal for us as it would require less configuration with Chef.

Honestly, we probably will not jump on 16.04 for awhile unless it has PHP7 by default.
So having php7 on 16.04 would encourage us to adopt 16.04 a lot sooner.
Which would mean the sooner we would write blogs about it, etc to help promote the movement to PHP7 and Ubuntu 16.04
