We intend to provide security support for PHP 5 in Jessie until June 30 2020. Although we cannot foresee all possible issues in advance, we expect them to be in the same range as in Wheezy. There were also some bugs in PHP 7 that never affected our PHP 5 versions. This has to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis again. Regards, Markus
