[vox-tech] Risks of upgrading past CentOS 6 supported PHP 5.4?

[Dr. Larry Ozeran]

I am Googled out (repeatedly finding the same sites) and the impressive 
expertise on this list gives me high hopes that someone here has an 
answer or a reference.

I have found many sites talking about how to upgrade from PHP 5.4 (which 
appears to be the last CentOS 6 supported version of PHP) to later 
versions using webtatic. [https://webtatic.com/packages/php55/] What I 
have been unable to learn are the risks of doing so.

Does anyone know any downsides to using the webtatic PHP packages on 
CentOS 6?

Thanks,
