Comment (by JavierCasares):
The main thing is we don't have correlated data… We have WordPress
version, PHP version, MySQL/MariaDB version, but we do not have WordPress
+ PHP version.
It is not the same WP 4.5 + PHP 5.6 as WP 6.3 + PHP 5.6.
Currently, we are not having in mind the “ghosts sites” because, if there
is a 5.9% of sites with WP 4.5 + PHP 5.6, the limit can be increased
because those sites will not be updated ''probably''. The problem is with
the newest sites.
Usually, if we do some magic, can see that “old WordPress versions” are
related to “old PHP versions” in percentage.
If we may have that data, most likely the decision can be algorithmic and
effortless because [https://make.wordpress.org/hosting/handbook/upgrading/
there is some info on how to update from old WordPress versions].
