Let's be realistic. This is not a critical security fix for production servers. This is a .0.0 release. For developers this marks the point where they need to start making upgrade plans if they haven't already. I realize for Heroku and the few similar cloud computing services out there it might be slightly different in that you want to be quick to provide the first golden PHP 7 to your customers. My only concern with the timing is whether we are adding undue inconvenience to our RM team and all the other folks on our side that are affected by a release. -Rasmus
