I understand the concern here but getting out deprecation notices out
early would be more important in my opinion. Additionally when we
decided to make PHP 7 our next release we had already released 5.6. I
pushed for a 5.7 to allow for deprecation notices as well as more time
to develop features for 7.0 but that's not the route we took. I point
this out to show that waiting for the last 7.x release is not prudent.
