Re: PHP 5.6 life cycle

Hi! > Giving everyone until the end of 2017 to update their servers is more > than sufficient. Sufficient for what? It is a hard fact that people still run 5.3 version. In fact, 2/3 of sites run EOLed versions. You can always say they have only themselves to blame, but then I'm not sure what "sufficient" means. Unless adoption patterns change drastically, by the end of 2017 most people will not be running PHP 7. That's not something we can realistically change (unless you have some way of changing those patterns we didn't try yet or they change by themselves somehow). Thus, our choice lies only in whether we support this majority of users in some way or say "you are on your own now, we don't care about you anymore". -- Stas Malyshev smalyshev@gmail.com
