 We need tests, if not PHPUnit, then what?
 If we don't update, we might not be able to update the version of PHP used

 I believe we can do the migration, but it will need a team to tackle it
 outside of the main core team

 We create a new protected branch as a pull target, and we first merge into
 this branch.

 The team is allowed to merge into the new branch (after three team members
 have approved the pull request).

 Then a core committer (or we add a guest committer) merges this into trunk
 after only checking that NO changes were made outside the test folders and
 no error in the test suite (this reduces the load on the core team)

 We need to enable the team to do the work and get out of the way

 Have thought about how to migrate the tests. I would like to suggest
 creating a new folder
 tests/phpunit11, and we move the tests to this new location. This way we
 can duplicate all the workflows on GitHub to run both the current PHPunit
 and PHPunit11 while keeping them separate.

 This will help the team to track what has been done and allow commits in
 the old folder while we are migrating
