Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 I have mixed feelings about backporting to 5.8 as this is a PHP 8.1
 compatibility fix going in to a version that doesn't support the version
 of PHP.

 I certainly don't want to backport to WP 5.7 or earlier as they're
 unsupported versions of WordPress. The last time Core backported a fix to
 unsupported versions was #49956 (at my suggestion) was a much more serious
 issue in my view.
