You are correct, however I think php is a special case, because it's a slow adopter, sadly a lot of hosting providers have not updated and a lot of software is still not compatible with the latest versions. For example, the default version of php in CentOS 7 is still 5.4, so I don't see why removing it from ports was a good idea. -- http://w3techs.com/technologies/details/pl-php/5/all
