Or stick with the current LTS until they're in a position to adopt PHP 7.

At work we won't upgrade to Xenial until all our code is compatible with
PHP 7, and then if Xenial doesn't ship a supported PHP 7 I'll recommend we
switch to a distro that does, or install a supported 3rd party package like
Zend Server. I imagine there are many PHP houses that will do the same. (I
don't mean that to sound like an ultimatum, just illustrating a real world
use case.)

I appreciate all the work people are putting in to try to make this happen.

PHP Mapscript is important to me, is there anything I can do to help with
that?

Cheers,
R
