Comment (by mikeschroder):

 This ticket was brought up in today's ticket scrub.

 As of [https://wordpress.org/news/2019/05/jaco/ WordPress 5.2, PHP 5.6.20+
 is required], so if that was the remaining limitation in upgrading, it
 shouldn't be a blocker anymore.

 If there are open security concerns, those should be directed to
 https://hackerone.com/wordpress.

 Outside of that, what changes would be required to upgrade to the newest
 version?
