I do know about Lithium, but honestly Nate I don't agree with your complain. While I do understand the frustration of having to update code because of changes in the underlying platform (PHP7 in this case), I believe this is a change for the better, and to which dependent code should adapt.
You have experienced this in the past yourself: wanting to introduce a new feature in a framework you developed sometimes implied BC changes which affected people who ended up not liking the fact that their code had to be modified. But BC changes are needed, and something as big as STH is definitely worth it. It is not by chance that its introduction and ultimately acceptance into the PHP core has been received with considerable excitement and energy. Yes, some (small portions) of userland PHP code, such as the Lithium framework (which by the way I probably have the biggest production code that utilizes it) will be affected. The solution for such frameworks? A simple class rename. Yes, that will imply that any Lithium based code that's not updated will not be supported by PHP7, but isn't that actually a good thing? Userland code should remain updated, moving forward with the language.
