 Travis CI have announced they are going to switch to Trusty as the default
 distro come July 18th 2017
 > https://blog.travis-ci.com/2017-07-11-trusty-as-default-linux-is-coming

 Incoming patch will allow us to continue having PHP 5.2 Travis CI jobs
 until September 2017

 ----

 The current availability of PHP 5.2  in the Travis CI build environment is
 the following:

 1. ✅ `dist: precise` with `sudo: false`
 2.  ❌  `dist: trusty` with `sudo: false`
 3.  ❌  `dist: precise` with `sudo: false`
 4.  ❌  `dist: precise` with `sudo: required`

 WordPress' current Travis CI config uses option `1` above
 Travis CI will override this configuration with option `2` come July 18th
 2017
 We can work around this issue for PHP 5.2 until September 2017 using
 option `3` for the PHP 5.2 Travis CI job
 Come September 2017 Travis CI will overwrite option `3` above with option
 `4`

 I've created the following Travis CI issue on the subject:
