I'm personally not a fan of the webtatic repository. This is mostly due
to the number of users on irc who seem to have problems with it. I would
recommend either the upcoming software collections packages or the IUS
repository packages. https://iuscommunity.org/pages/About.html
IUS has been a very good/reliable way to get more recent versions of
things, and the folks responsible for it are active both on irc and in
the mailing lists.
