Users of Debian-based distributions or Windows should have mbstring enabled by default, so should not be affected.
I note that the current packages in Debian unstable for PHP7 have a separate mbstring package for some reason.
Also, as a side note, once I got around to figuring out everything that needed installation[1] my local dev environment hasn't had much issue with PHP7. The biggest problem is that luasandbox needs updating.
[1]: IIRC that's php-curl, php-intl, php-json, php-mbstring, php-mysql, php-sqlite3, php-tidy, php-xml, php-redis, and php-xdebug, in addition to the usual basic packages.
