PHP7 is incompatible with many PECL extensions which are used by a LOT of websites, and are therefore VERY popular.
Any release of Ubuntu which doesn't include PHP5.6 out of the box, is going to be a non-starter in the server world. PHP7 is just too new. No one has had time to adapt all of the incredibly important and vast collection of PECL extensions to PHP7 yet. PHP7 will take years to adopt. Pushing out an Ubuntu release which is PHP7-centric is most defintely a non-starter. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1522422 Title: Update to php 7.0 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1522422/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
