Comment (by liedekef):

 I've been blocked on multiple occasions by the pre-commit linting. I
 include some payment provider libs in my plugin (mercadopago, mollie, ...)
 and sometimes they check which version of php is used and include other
 files based on that. However I'm not going to reverse engineer those each
 time ... and removing php 8 files (if I could even find those) would
 create problems for those people actually wanting to test/run php 8.
 So I urge you to also make this linting optional.
