Centos 7 support

[Me.B]

I still don't see why we would use php55w ? What's the benefit?

Most applications work fine with 5.4 and ( did so with 5.3). Php 5.4 is supported by centos patches.
Once you use external repo to add php55w you will end up later managing conflicts, example in case later you might want to move to centos 7.5.

If I had so urgent need for 5.5 I will go into manual mode, compile it and store it aside the default OS RPM and bam activate it as I needed. That way I won't break packages updates ( And I could different php versions).

Nginx proxying to apache is totally insane for me. Either you choose nginx or apache, that's how it should be. I could understand we use nginx as reverse proxy but not on the same machine! Also if we run 100% nginx, we will have issues with again suhosin and you will loose some features users want badly like URL rewriting. I saw those stunts to have both of the 2 worlds by setting up nginx in front of apache and that's a no go for me.. It will require more ressources on VPS's.

This is my view not the whole team view.

Yes you can update phpmyadmin, we are thinking about building another way of integrating phpmyadmin/updating it.
