Comment (by jrf):

 As per #50902 - we will never be able to get proper insight into the
 issues which need fixing on PHP 8 without making the testsuite compatible
 with PHPUnit 8 + 9.

 [https://github.com/sebastianbergmann/phpunit/blob/master/ChangeLog-9.3.md
 PHPUnit 9.3.x] was released a week ago and is the first PHPUnit version
 which is officially claiming support for PHP 8.0.

 As per the [https://make.wordpress.org/core/2020/08/13/wordpress-5-6
 -release-planning/ WP 5.6 release planning] support for PHP 5.6 will be
 dropped in WP 5.6.

 Is there an official decision yet that PHP 7.1 (or higher) will be the new
 minimum ? If so, I'd willing to create an initial patch to fix the test
 suite.
