In practise, I would never ever do both in the same timeframe. Otherwise I
wouldn't know whether apparent problems stem from monitoring changes,
deployment changes, or the PHP upgrade itself.
Right now I can pretty easily test new PHP versions, wrt. app
compatibility, by throwing them onto one or the other development server,
and/or onto one of a dozen deployment servers, because I can easily revert
that when it does not work.
With mod_php missing, I won't do that. And that will probably shift
adoption of a PHP++ into the future by 6 months, or something like that.
Not that any of that matters in the grand scheme of things. I'm just one
small site in the whole Internet....
