    initial v1  
    44> * Announce dropping PHP 7.0 and 7.1 support in WP 6.3
    55
    6 I have always been in favor of doing this step by step (by PHP .x version), unless next two steps combined are small than the maximum 5% "left behind" (here 7.0 + 7.1). Announcing dropping PHP 5.6 in WP 6.2 will probably (force) migrate many of the 5.6 users to 7.4 or higher, paving the way for the next drop, and so forth.

    88By waiting, to be able to do several steps at once, we might end up waiting endlessly.
