Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 Replying to [comment:11 JavierCasares]:
 > We should clarify if this page is for "requirements" or
 "recommendations" because, as requirements, WordPress may work with many
 older versions, but as recommended we should not propose unsupported
 versions.

 I agree we should not recommend unsupported or insecure versions.

 The [https://wordpress.org/about/requirements/ Requirements] page looks
 like a mix of both recommendations and requirements, with the
 recommendations at the top and the actual requirements a bit further down:
 > Note: If you are in a legacy environment where you only have older PHP
 or MySQL versions, WordPress also works with PHP 5.6.20+ and MySQL 5.0+,
 but these versions have reached official End Of Life and as such **may
 expose your site to security vulnerabilities**.
