 Would not bumping the minimum version for core be the more straightforward
 way to address this? Personally, I don't care for an official way in core
 to provide a minimum version. In a way that promotes fracturing the plugin
 ecosystem. It's just dipping your toe in the water. It would seem
 developers are already solving this in the plugin code itself. My point is
 that for development to evolve, WordPress itself needs to natively support
 modern PHP.
