Hi Nick, Thanks for getting back to us.
Our main concern is that current PHP-version is so far behind the current "state the art", especially since the current version on AppEngine is from 31 Mar 2016. Which means that we're slowly crawling up on one full year without any updates. Which is a hard sell to my customers which i intend to move over to AppEngine. While the flexible environment is interesting and look very versatile, it's difficult to consider that as an option as long as Google themself does not recommend it for production use. Do you have any timeline for the PHP upgrades or when the flexible environment is expected to go out of beta?
