Comment (by Cybr):

 PHP development is moving rapidly, and the new stringent take the PHP
 Group has on deprecation (albeit good) and shorter EOL spans are causing
 code to become incompatible fast. I welcome this addition sooner than
 later — not only for WordPress users but also to encourage developers to
 test the latest versions.

 I recommend doing something like "Supports PHP 5.6 ~ 7.4" to declutter the
 sidebars.
 The same can be done for WordPress: "Supports WordPress 5.5 ~ 6.3.1".
