Comment (by samiamnot):

 Based on [https://wordpress.org/about/stats/ stats].

 removing PHP 7.2 support is going to take a while since it is currently at
 5.64% vs 6.48% last month. This is a pretty significant drop in a month,
 but it will likely take a while to reach the level where 7.2 can be
 dropped. PHP 7.3 was at 8.16% last month, and is now at 7.62%.

 ||='''Month/Year'''=||='''PHP7.0'''=||='''PHP 7.1'''=||='''Total'''=||
 ||Jul 2023||2.05||1.38||3.43%||
 ||Aug 2023||1.99||1.33||3.32%||
