Unless there are significant gains and security fixes, the version will remain the same. I expect that Xenial will get this as it isn't even in the Alpha stages.

PHP7 is like a revolution, so I think they should create two branches, PHP5 packages and PHP7 packages, like Python.

This is a developing feature request and we don't have a definite answer yet. More details in bug 1522422, and I'll keep that bug updated as work continues.

This just in: "Just an FYI to all, php5 has been removed from Xenial and php7.0 is the only available PHP in 16.04!" -- https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1522422/comments/119

Can you help with this problem?
