Pretty sure it was 5.3.x where x I think was json_encode() or something we need. The next version should definitely be >= 5.5 though.
I think Symfony is 5.5 which means phpBB is and I think XF uses Symfony (or ZF) so it makes sense on that respect.
I think what we're going to see soon is every distro will only maintain the core of the distro and everything will be 3rd party repos with maybe some aggregate repos for newbies or lazy people.

I have the possibility to switch php version with a click and I did it, the forum works well on PHP7. Should I keep this version or should I switch back to 5.6?

In the tests I remember we had to fix some issues with sessions in order to make php 7 happy.
You may try logging in and out to be sure nothing is broken.

Interesting, off the top of my head I can't say why it would not work.
I'd have to debug it, but first I'd have to have a php 7 environment... that may require some time...

I'd say its going to be a long haul ... but I was very glad to see that Ubuntu LTS 16.04 (April 2016) has 7.0 as the default package. Getting the LTS distros will help a bunch in quicker adoption.
