Comment (by ayeshrajans):

 Bleeding-edge PHPMailer :) Thank you.

 #57874 has a way better description. I don't think I can edit the original
 description; I'm happy with however you suggest we proceed. We could copy-
 paste but perhaps someone with permissions update the ticket?

 I took the liberty of deciding to not include the new DSN class because we
 initialize PHPMailer on our own, use no autoloader, and because we don't
 include the whole PHPMailer library anyway.

 > Also: the Hindi translation has been updated - do we need to ping the
 Polyglots team to get the translation used by WP updated as well ?

 From what I see, we catch PHPMailer exceptions and throw a `WP_Error` with
 `wp_mail_failed`, containing the Exception message thrown by PHPMailer.
 However, we don't use PHPMailer's localization, so the Exception messages
 would be the same in v6.8.0 too. My guess is that we don't need to bother
 with the translations, because as far as WordPress is concerned, we don't
 change any of the source text strings. I don't understand Hindi to know if
 the updated translations are dramatically different, but pinging them
 could prove useful.
