Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"52421" 52421]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="52421"
 Tests: Correct the check for the recommended MySQL version in
 `readme.html`.

 This updates the regular expression in the test to retrieve the date of
 the first, instead of the last, GA release for the recommended MySQL
 branch, in order to properly track the EOL date.

 Additionally, as the currently recommended MySQL 5.7 branch moved from
 active support to extended support on 2020-10-21, and WordPress core is
 not fully compatible with MySQL 8.0 at this time, this commit increases
 the “supported” period from 5 to 8 years to include extended support.

 Follow-up to [31291], [35759], [meta11407], [52420].

 See #41490.
