 areReplying to [comment:140 bgermann]:
 > ... which still says: "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."

 To me, the "minimum required" is the minimum recommended. Not the minimum
 that technically still allows to function. I'm not sure how others
 interpret that.
