the vote is now open for the PHP 5 Support Timeline RFC: https://wiki.php.net/rfc/php56timeline#voteHi, We've discussed this at length at AFUP, and would be +1 to extend the lifetime of PHP 5, by a huge margin. As for the duration, we would be on the 1+1 year side, by a smaller margin. Basically: - Not everyone will switch to PHP 7 right away, so extending support, especially for security, seems necessary. - But extending it for too long could give a wrong message to some users, like "no need to upgrade"; and we don't want that. - Also, after a while, we would prefer time being spent on 7.x instead of used maintaining 5.x for years. - And, in any case, some users will never upgrade, no matter how long 5.x is maintained... that's just how it is.
