RHSCL is nice, but:
- 5.5 has been out for quite some time
- On current RHSCL you can get PHP 5.4 but no stable opcache as neither APC=
 or ZendOpcache is offically stable for 5.4

Last point would probably hit RHEL 7 pretty hard as well, or?

Also for PHP software vendors relying on RHSCL adds quite some extra effort=
 in terms documentation on setup, and support in cases where user has sever=
al php instances and runs wrong versions on CLI vs web. Additionally for yo=
ur sake it adds some value that your main packages and sites like distrowat=
ch showing that you have PHP 5.5 for the next 3-4 years considering this wi=
ll be the next big push in the PHP community*.
