 Updated for October based on [https://wordpress.org/about/stats/ stats].

 Removing PHP 7.2 support (not part of this ticket) is going to take a
 while since it is currently at 5.31%. This is a very small drop compared
 to the previous month and it will likely take a while to reach the level
 where 7.2 can be dropped. PHP 7.3 is now at was at 6.87%, and this is
 dropping at a faster rate than 7.2.
