Comment (by pcarvalho):

 congratulations to WordPress!

 Around this date, 11 years ago, PHP 5.2 was released! And almost 7 years
 ago it was deprecated.

 After that, we had PHP 5.3 (unsupported), 5.4 (unsupported), 5.5
 (unsupported), 5.6 ( december 2018).
 Nowadays, we had PHP 7.0, 7.1, 7.2, and in a month or so, we'll have PHP
 7.3!

 so, keep up the hard work of supporting unsafe and unsupported PHP
 versions, specially for people that don't care about you at all.
