Afair then it was proposed to have PHP 5.7 as a deprecation/migration
friendly release but we ended just rolling with PHP7 and the migration
was merely flawless. Personally I don't like the idea of such type of
releases either, I think they make sense on paper but reality is also
that we have a branch to support for years to come as to our current
release policy.
