 Hey there
 I'll be short:
 WordPress does not work on PHP5.6 anymore, try it, you'll break your legs
 in half, the last compat version seems to be 6.2.4.
 I suggest to add the same kijnd of warning when a plugin has not been
 updated since 3 major versions, but with PHP.
 Example with my plugin: https://wordpress.org/plugins/secupress/
 Today it's still PHP5.6 minimum (because the plugin code is compatible),
 BUT WP is not anymore! I'll update my requirements with 7.0 like WP.
 We should add a warning on plugin's page, the thing is, how to say it?
 "Warning: this plugin is not compatible with the minimum required PHP
 version 7.0, if you're running PHP 5.6 (data from plugin, could be less),
 you should upgrade your PHP version first"
 I dunno :s

 thanks for your opinions
 ps: high prio because since 6.2.4 those plugins cannot be run on 5.6
 anymore!
