We're struggling to support HHVM properly on our projects:

So it's time to rethink if we still want to guarantee HHVM support, the reasons are:

Even though we managed to run HHVM 3.15 on travis it was impossible to install the dependencies (we should give it a try on HHVM 3.18 however I'm not sure how often HHVM users upgrade stuff)
We want to use new PHP features but HHVM is not being able to keep up the pace updates and they still have a list of PHP 5 and 7 incompatibilities
