Comment (by SergeyBiryukov):

 In [changeset:"58682" 58682]:
 {{{
 #!CommitTicketReference repository="" revision="58682"
 Code Modernization: Remove obsolete comments about older PHP versions.

 This commit:
 * Removes various comments referencing PHP versions which are no longer
 supported.
 * Removes various comments containing “hints” of things to do after a
 particular PHP version drop. These hints are incorrect/not actionable for
 various reasons, so have no value:
  * Even though a function could be turned into a closure, removing the
 function would be a backward compatibility break which is not acceptable,
 so this suggestion is not actionable.
  * Short ternaries are forbidden by the coding standard exactly to prevent
 the faulty code suggested in the comment from getting into the codebase.

 Follow-up to [1243/tests], [6543], [11816], [29861], [29864], [34928],
 [35369], [36698], [38694], [50786], [58678].

 Props jrf, ayeshrajans.
