[php-maint] Bug#750682: Bug#750682: Bug#750682: [php5] Experimental warning in NEWS.Debian

[Ondřej Surý]

I am curious where the bug is here...

The message is very much still true and will be/should be removed when
upstream reach RC phase.

This should not be used in production (and that also holds for Debian
testing - it should
not be used for production).

I will not close the bug just for the sake of avoiding duplicate bug
reports,
but I see no bug here.
