Comment (by flixos90):
While I certainly like this idea, I think showing a very prominent notice
to users should be the last step though on our way to making users upgrade
their PHP version.
For example I consider #40934 more important as it is a more organic way
to push users to a higher version. When they see a plugin won't work any
longer, they know for fact they have a problem and are more likely to make
efforts. Performance and security are both rather abstract arguments to
users.
This notice considered here will likely make more people upgrade, but it
will also be possibly annoying, not give a user a reason they can fully
grasp. I think less aggressive solutions should be the first step.
