Will APC appear in PHP7?

Question

I read all over internet that APC will be included in PHP6. However the PHP6 project was cancelled and they skipped one major version to avoid confusion, which then again causes more confusion. This however is another discussion for another time.

My question is:

Will APC or any other cache module still be introduced, included and enabled by default in PHP7?

The reason why I am asking is because I am considering implementing memcached into my projects. But if there is a native cache solution in PHP7 i'd rather stick to that.

Answer 1

PHP 7 has a built-in opcache, APC is deprecated and will not work.
