Just because we are releasing PHP 7.0 next year (well, according to
our timeline anyway) that doesn't mean we can't release a 5.7.
The advantage of PHP 5.7 is clear to me at least: it would extend
support for the 5.X series by another year, get bug fixes, and contain
E_DEPRECATED warnings and other things that should make migrating to
PHP 7.0 easier. I personally do not suggest adding any features in PHP
5.7.
And to reiterate this in case someone has missed it: we have already
voted on and accepted an RFC which targets PHP 5.7:
