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.
