Comment:

 I'm not opposed to the alternative approach @nerrad suggests, but I think
 an admin notice is the most straightforward and on-point solution here.
 Per the discussion on Slack, let's rather aim for 5.0 instead of a minor
 release, as seeing the notice after a minor release may indeed feel weird.
 [attachment:41191.2.diff] simply adjusts the version numbers accordingly.

 Per the suggestion by @clorith, we should also consider using a warning
 color for the notice. While each of us probably considers a site running
 PHP 5.2 "broken", we have to be honest to ourselves: It is not broken. It
 is insecure and all sorts of other things, but I think a warning actually
 fits better.

 Again, please continue further discussion [on GitHub](https://github.com
 /wp-core-php/wordpress-develop/pull/1).
