Comment (by azaozz):

 Was thinking we can reuse the Serve Happy Dashboard widget to show a
 "sticky" warning when the PHP version is too old and soon will become
 unsupported. However I don't see a good way to do that. Seems there are
 two possibilities:

 1. Extend the Serve Happy widget.
 2. Add a new widget specifically for this case, then remove it (or suspend
 it/comment it out) in the next version when it would not be needed.

 At first look # 2 seems perhaps better, but then that new widget will
 interfere with Serve Happy. Most likely both will be shown at the same
 time. Don't think that'd be good.

 Looking at extending the Serve Happy widget, perhaps we can add a "static"
 case/text that will be displayed instead of doing an API request when the
 PHP version is lower than 7.2?

 Any other thoughts/ideas?
