 * PHP 7 is still not considered to be stable & it is the main reason that most 
   of the Linux distributions still have old PHP 5 on their default repositories.
   
   Consider the idea of developing the plugin to work on php5

 * Hello,
 * According to PHP developers:
    [http://php.net/supported-versions.php](http://php.net/supported-versions.php)
 * PHP5 is no longer actively supported.
    As even security updates will be disabled
   in next 8 months, we decided to use PHP7 so we can develop our plugin without
   worrying about outdated language.

 * Until that moment, few will use it. Debian does not use it and as long as it 
   will not be in their repositories I do not intend to put my hand to the server.
   So many will be in my storage right now.

 * Hello,
 * Unfortunately we will not be downgrading our plugin to PHP5, as we want to focus
   on expanding it further, which is not possible with outdated language libs.
 * We have over 200 active customers using our newest plugin.
    You could try it 
   too, even on small test server if you want.
 * PHP7 should be available on all 3 main Debian releases already:
