It's changed a bit since then.
We now allow scls if:
* They only need to be used at build time (ie, the rpms produced do not
require users to install/enable any scls)
* They are approved by the epel steering comittee.
So far we have only enabled devtoolset. (so for example, chromium uses
devtoolset to build with a newer gcc, but does not require users to
install or enable anything to use it).
In the case of php, this would likely not work because it would require
users to install/enable php to get the webserver module or cmd line.
