Should (could?) this be handled on the updates API side? Seems a better
idea than trying to backport it. Then all sites running older versions of
WP will be covered, instantly.
For now it seems setting the `Requires at least: 5.2` header in the
plugin's readme.txt is sufficient for preventing update notifications. Of
course, ideally plugin authors should be able to require newer PHP
versions and still support older WP versions, but I don't see this as a
blocker for 5.2.
In any case, even if there's no other way except to backport this to older
versions, the backporting should happen in a minor release so it can be
pushed in an auto-update. Moving this for further consideration to the
next minor.
