Yes as soon as it is patched and considered stable it will be upgraded. but you can add a ppa that uses PHP 5.6 now but consider it as untested and unstable.Ubuntu 14.04 end of life on servers is 04/2019 but i have had very few issues upgrading from server LTS 12.04-14.04 the migration usually gets better and better. Several desktops have had issues doing 12.04 to 14.04 upgrade but both had many modifications. Todd--On Tue, Dec 9, 2014 at 6:38 PM, Keith Smith <techlists@phpcoderusa.com> wrote:
I'm looking at Ubuntu 14.04 LTS And it is running PHP 5.5 which will no longer be supported after June of 2016. That would be about a year and a half from now.
Ubuntu 14.04 LTS is supported through Jan or Feb of 2019 or about 4 years.
How does this work? Does someone patch the unsupported PHP, MySql, and Apache or does Ubuntu add the newer version that is supported by their maintainers? In other words is Ubuntu 14.04 LTS going to always contain PHP 5.5 (and maintain it themselves) or will Ubuntu 14.04 LTS pull in a more recent version of PHP that is still supported by PHP?
Thanks!!

Keith. At work we are currently running Drupal 7.34 on RHEL 6.5. Our
local development vms are running on CentOS of the same version. I
feel your pain however.
I am looking at Ubuntu 12.04 LTS server to run the LAMP stack needed
for Drupal 8. I have run Ubuntu for many uses over the past 5 years
and it is a solid server distribution. Ubuntu 's LTS server versions
are outpacing CentOS and even Debian itself as the web server of
choice. It is the number one choice for servers in an Openstack
deployment. It is the most provisioned server thanks to Vagrant and
Packer.
Others may disagree but I am seriously considering the move to an
Openstack cloud with our Web servers running 12.04 LTS for Drupal.
