It does – the maintainers of HHVM will not maintain PHP language compatibility:

Oh, yeah, I should have explored the link…
Do you think it needs to be clarified?
Indeed, as I suspected it described the architecture and then talked
only about a single software layer. In French I preferred to be clearer
and wrote: ‘The Wikimedia servers currently use HHVM to run the PHP
code. They are going to use PHP7, which will substitute the use of HHVM.’

Here, I’m pointing that in the sentence ‘When someone moves a page to a
name that already exists that page is deleted’, we read that ‘that page’
which ‘is deleted’ is the page which is moved, whereas it should be the
page that formerly had the new name of the page.
Indeed. Towards the bottom of my email I wrote this:

Should have put it at the top, there's no reason for you to read to
the bottom of something you see every week, of course.
Yep. You could put such special notes just below the direct translation
link, and/or put ‘SPECIAL NOTE:’ before it, in uppercase letters, so
that it catches our attention.
Do tell me if
you think I should have a different approach in cases like these – my
assumption was that translating another few sentences from the
beginning is less work than potentially going back later, or less
annoying than having your translation become outdated.
It’s okay — :).
