We (Joyent) switched to Ruby 2.3 for our 2016Q4 package set.

I didn't bump PHP as at that time there were fewer modules available
for 7.0 compared to 5.6 and it was reasonably new to pkgsrc.  Looking
at the most recent trunk build, it's still behind 5.6 (122 vs 137).

So for Ruby I'm happy to see that happen.  For PHP I have no strong
opinion either way.
