Comment (by Shelob9):

 I have to drop PHP 5.2 support in [Caldera
 Forms](https://wordpress.org/plugins/caldera-forms) in order to remove a
 function that is deprecated in PHP 5.2 - https://github.com/CalderaWP
 /Caldera-Forms/issues/2335

 Right now I'm stuck between telling users who are on the right version of
 to downgrade because there are a few thousands or tens of thousands, I
 don't know, sites on PHP 5.2 that I could break. These are bad choices.
