Comment (by superdav42):

 Any plan to revisit this now that PHP 5.6 is the minimum version?

 The PHP version requirement never really prevented an autoloader from
 being implemented but without needed to support PHP 5.2 the implementation
 can be much simpler.

 Opcache [https://wiki.php.net/rfc/preload Preloading] will be introduced
 in PHP 7.4 and to properly take advantage of it WordPress will need a
 proper class pre-loader.
