Upgrading extensions from PHP 5.X to PHP 5.Y is easy or even does
not require any changes. Since upgrading extension modules to PHP 7
code base is not easy task for many people, giving more time for
upgrading makes sense. We don't know how many private extensions
are used in the wild.

This may be an evidence that there are many.

+1 for extending PHP 5.6 support.
