Thanks, Ill see if those have landed in Arch yet.

To answer the pther suggestions:

Arch keeps backups of old packages unless you specifically delete
them. My configuration files are all kept in a git repo. I also have a
VM with a basic Arch install on it, which I can clone and restore to a
different computer. Database is also backe up daily.

Upgrading to php7 altered a lot of packages, so downgrading isn't
trivial, although it's possible. Likewise building a new install from
the clone and testing it would take a few hours. Upgrading to 0.28
from AUR would take only a few minutes. However, as it's not yet the
release version, I would prefer to stick with 0.27. Hopefully, just
upgrading to the latest 0.27 shoud fix my problem.
