Comment (by samiamnot):
Updated for early June based on [https://wordpress.org/about/stats/
stats]. With the slowdown of upgrades on 7.2+7.3 to about 0.4% a month, I
do not think that it is realistic to drop 7.2+7.3 for quite a while. At
the current pace, it will take about 7 months, but the actual change rate
is slowing down every month. My assumption is that will will not be low
enough for the next phase of dropping 7.2+7.3 for close to a year.

For historical reasons, here are the stats going back to PHP 5.2. This is
not changing much and many are likely "abandoned" sites that are on old
versions of WP.
