Basically, you're wanting to give up hope on PHP 7 in one year *at the=20 moment it is started*... I think that's a pretty big mistake to do this=20 already. The momentum is here now, let's use it to get PHP 7=20 ready=E2=80=94instead of bogging ourselves down with a PHP 5.7. cheers, Derick --8323329-1818561990-1408094718=:4214--
