Comment:

 Accidentally committed [51889] to 5.8 and not `trunk`. Going to merge that
 change into `trunk` now.

 Also, I think it's fine to leave this as is going forward. A few points
 from @dd32 on #46594:2:

 - `Basically, 54% use the latest 5.6.40, 95% are 5.6.30 and above, and 99%
 are 5.6.20 and above`
 - `Most of the PHP 5.6 fixes after 5.6.25 seem to be security-related, and
 that's the point I stopped looking into it.`

 This was almost 3 full years ago now, so I'm sure that many of the
 remaining 5% on PHP < 5.6.30 have been updated, and there is very little
 to no benefit to testing on 5.6.20 instead of 5.6.40.
