PHP 5.7 support

D8 has come out with support for PHP 5.7, which is going stable. They are using it as the default test language for CI given the 30% performance improvement: http://fabianx.drupalgardens.com/blog/why-drupal-8-defaulting-its-testing-php7-and-why-you-should-too?utm_source=The+Weekly+Drop&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=The_Weekly_Drop_Issue_216_11_19_2015. Might be nice to evaluate scope of effort to make CiviCRM work on PHP 5.7 as part of 4.8 release cycle.

I agree.
JFYI I doubt there will be a 4.8.
Try asking your question on the new CiviCRM help site.

What will happen after 4.7? 5.0?

I would also add that Drupal also tests in PHP 7. Which is just around the corner
