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.
