Or is lang/php5 going to disappear altogether over time? I hope so. Because there are always some incompatibilities between versions and if somebody is using 5.4 (as lang/php5) and then get 5.5 or 5.6 after pkg upgrade (because php5 will point to 5.6) it can cause unwanted application breakage. It is better to have just php55 and php56 and let user decide which to install. Miroslav Lachman
