Comment (by jrf):

 @matt Do I understand you correctly in that you are basically prioritizing
 supporting PHP 5.6 - which is outdated and has no security support anymore
 - over supporting PHP 8.0, which is due to come out just before WP 5.6 ?

 I just want it stated for the record that in that case, PHP 8.0 support
 will **not** be a realistic goal in the foreseeable future.
