Comment 99 for bug 1522422

@jstsch I'm not trying to start a specific discussion about customers or software but merely was pointing out that service providers or hosters would actually profit from both package branches staying available instead dropping one of them after freeze. And as both EOL dates are nearly the same it isn't like one of them is a support nightmare and unsupported upstream in near future.

Of course customers on trusty can stay on that. But we'll alert precise customers shortly about options for upgrades. And if xenial stays on php7 those are most likely to become trusty boxes as well, what I personally find a rather unsatisfactory solution but perhaps is inevitable.
