 PHPCS has seen two new releases since the update to WPCS 3.0, with
 especially the 3.8.0 version containing a huge number of improvements.

 Refs:
 * https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer/releases/tag/3.8.0
 * https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHP_CodeSniffer/releases/tag/3.8.1

 Also note that PHPCSUtils and PHPCSExtra, both dependencies of WPCS 3.0+,
 are not locked down, meaning that the version used by contributors _may_
 not always be the same. I don't expect any significant problems with that,
 but we may want to consider locking them down anyway.
 Both projects have had releases since the original update to WPCS 3.0.

 Refs:
 * https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHPCSUtils/releases/tag/1.0.9
 * https://github.com/PHPCSStandards/PHPCSExtra/releases/tag/1.2.1
