Comment (by leonstafford):

 +1 for making linting optional.

 Based on the speed of this ticket's advancement, I don't have hope for
 linting which matches the plugin's "min PHP" setting coming into effect.

 I pulled one plugin off wp.org last year, partly due to this annoyance.
 Considering to add a new one, which has a PHP 7.4 minimum requirement, so
 waiting more years just to get the next bump to 7.3 won't work.

 This is an unnecessary impediment to improving modern PHP adoption within
 WP.
