 - PHP 7.4 is [https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php no longer
 displayed as a stable version].
 - The next stable version is PHP 8.0, which we're not compatible with yet.
 - PHP 7.4's change from `stable` to `security` is causing a
 [https://github.com/WordPress/wordpress-
 develop/runs/4343240883?check_suite_focus=true PHPUnit test failure] in
 `Tests_External_HTTP_Basic::test_readme()`.

 If no discussions or decisions have been made on this yet, I suggest that
 we disable the failing assertion in this test method until we either:

 - Reach PHP 8.0 compatibility and bump the recommended PHP version in
 `src/readme.html`.
 - Refactor this part of the test method.
 - Make another decision about this.
