I actually appreciate the work that Facebook is doing in this space... it's definitely beneficial to those running PHP codebases that have been around a long time. While I don't like PHP the language, I can understand the utility of it.

That said, I'm appreciating the move to containerization and micro-services more... replacing some pieces with better options becomes far easier when those pieces are smaller. I can prototype in something like node, and move those troublesome bits to something like go or c++ if needed.
