Github user jeking3 commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/thrift/pull/1391 I already discussed the possibility of retiring the trusty build environment to reduce project maintenance. Maybw now is the time to do it. That said, I would really like to get input from someone else who uses php regularly. @Jens-G perhaps... to ensure this change is acceptable (removing php5 support). I haven't seen any objections in the developer email list but it hasn't been expressly mentioned.
