 `readme.html` currently lists PHP 5.4 as the recommended version, which
 reaches EOL in a few days.

 I'm inclined to skip 5.5 and bump it to 5.6 - 5.5 is in extended support,
 only receiving security fixes. 5.6 is still well within active support.

 I have no problem leaving MySQL at 5.5, which is still in active support.
 We can bump the MySQL version to 5.6 when we do #32105.
