New description:

 There are concerns about PHP version.

 Some developers and users would like to see this technical detail a little
 bit more exposed.

 This could be currently really interesting and valuable to expose it, as
 this creates an awareness of "it's still PHP 5.6" vs. "it's already on PHP
 7.1".

 This also allow to see on a glance the full web stack versions as security
 concerns will primarily arise in PHP and WordPress.
