 Replying to [comment:22 samiamnot]:
 > The cumulative count of PHP 7.0 and lower versions stands at 6.47%. Does
 this number have to drop below 5% to allow dropping PHP 7.0?

 Precedent from previous releases (e.g. from @azaozz in the 5.6 drop
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57345#comment:29) has the threshold
 only for sites left behind in the release, and not those that have already
 been abandoned.

 I believe there is a meta ticket for adding a cross-section of WP-on-PHP
 version to Stats, to add better understanding how many of those 7.0 sites
 are for example 'abandoned' at WP4.9, but I can't find it 🤔
