Can you at least give me the illusion that you read our answers? It is not only about windows. I think it is confusing enough without trying to add more "suggestions" to the stack. What I am saying is simple. Openssl will release security related fixes today. Most if not all of them will hit 3rd party packagers/distros today/tomorrow/soon. Now, after discussions, waiting a couple of hours more sounds like a sane (if not only) move to ensure that everything goes well with openssl and php 7. If that's not the case, for example openssl breaks BC again, then it is a problem in openssl and they should delay their release or distros/3rd parties will delay the patches. It won't have an impact on today planed release of php 7.
