 Replying to [comment:11 mcsf]:
 > * New dashboard widget to inform administrators about outdated PHP
 versions. A yellow warning colour is used when the current PHP version is
 outdated, a red error color is used when it is also insecure.

 I believe this is correct.

 > * Honour plugins' minimum required PHP version. This is achieved by
 conditionally disabling the ''Install plugin'' button and showing the
 required PHP version more prominently (in the details view of a plugin).

 This honors the minimum version requirements for both WordPress and PHP.
 This data is taken from the plugin's `readme.txt` file. Any plugin that
 does not specify a version requirement will be allowed to install. This is
 the current default behavior. These actions require passing both
 requirements. Currently this is only for the ''Install Plugin''.

 In 5.2 the plans are for this to be honored for plugin updates and plugin
 activation.

 @flixos90 @schlessera does this sound correct to you?
