either way, master should/will contain the changes from phpng, otherwise we
would go against to our current merge everything upwards git workflow.
but that doesn't really a problem for 5.7, we should just branch it from
5.6 (we wanted to do this for 5.6 and 5.5, but most of the changes in
master at that time was ok for a minor, so we branches from master instead
of cherrypicking everything.), as anything we want to backport from master
to 5.7 would require manual work to make it compatible with 5.7.
