Comment (by costdev):

 @johnbillion Certainly in terms of making the older branches more
 resilient, this could be beneficial to include in the next
 security/maintenance release. However I'm not sure what the criteria is
 for non-security backports.

 Note that:
 - `Plugin_Upgrader::bulk_upgrade()` was introduced in 2.8
 - `Plugin_Upgrader::check_package()` was introduced in 3.3
 - `is_wp_version_compatible()` and `is_php_version_compatible()` were
 introduced in 5.2, so something like these should be used for earlier
 versions:

 {{{
 // WordPress.
 version_compare( explode( '-', $GLOBALS['wp_version'] )[0], $required,
 '>=' );

 // PHP.
 version_compare( PHP_VERSION, $required, '>=' )
 }}}
