supporting PHP versions
Fri, 10 Nov 2017 23:45:25 +0100
There are libraries that drop PHP <= 7.0 support in a minor release. 
But pretend to still "follow" semver in conjunction with composer. This makes it even more problematic shipping just one release source for all supported PHP versions or include vendor folder.
On the one hand I can understand their point. The libraries API is still semver and the platform requirements are transparently handled through composer. But PHP5.6 and PHP7.0 have officially EOL in end of 2018, so still over a year.
