CI4 will be really a BC break, and if its target version is PHP7, then people will have more motivation and will feel more sense to rewrite their solutions. Once it is a huge rewrite, throw away everything old at the future moment, including PHP5.

When I started the thread I think for PHP7 as option but its too high target. Its not even Finalized yet..

My idea for CI version is:

CI 1/2 - are old good original CI's supporting the old PHP versions 
CI 3 - is the current stable version which has support of 5.2.X versions
Now here we have a blank spot that there is no version of CI which is based on 5.3/5.4/5.5 versions as they are the current base PHP versions. For that we need 1 release before we move on PHP 7. 
I know that once CI decides to leave PHP 5 there will be again a lot of refactoring but this is how it should happen at least I think that way.

P.S > Of course CI 4 should be fully ready for PHP7 as even based on php 5 generation it must be usable at any platform with PHP7.
