Comment:

 Closed out #33003 as `reported-upstream` as it appears to have been fixed
 and will be solved once this update is committed.

 I also [https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie/pull/645 reported a
 separate PR] to help progress PHPCompatibility testing in #49922. I plan
 on requesting a new release from the maintainer so those fixes can be
 included. But if that doesn't happen in time, the changes in that PR
 should be included in this update.

 Spent some time today building a proper changelog upstream:
 https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie/pull/646

 There are several other SimplePie tickets (#37763, #21872, #42254, #29204,
 #43357 at first glance - I am sure there are more). The last box that
 should be checked before updating the library is to figure out if:
 - Will be solved by this update.
 - Will be made worse by this update.
 - Will become irrelevant after this update.

 This will hopefully identify any additional compatibility issues or
 blockers not being identified by the current less than adequate test
 coverage in Core.
