Comment:

 @tenpura is right, even if it may be considered minor.

 User who
 1. View requirements on wp.org and find the recommended PHP version to be
 5.6
 2. Asks Host A, who only can offer PHP 5.4
 3. Asks Host B, who can offer PHP 5.6
 4. Downloads current WordPress (4.3.1) for Host B
 5. Reads readme.html and now find that recommended PHP version is 5.4
 rightfully becomes confused.

 No need to change recommendations for all previously released versions,
 but there is a need to change recommendations for ''current'' version as
 soon as possible after the official change on wp.org.

 Ideally
 * Milestone this ticket to 4.3.2 and commit patch to branch
 * Consider silently repackage 4.3.1 with this new readme.html (as long as
 4.3.1 is still current)
 or regard the risk of confusion as minor.
