[schmarty] GWG: i know you've been busy and this is just a curiosity question (rather than a request for action) but do you see any changes coming to the IndieWeb wordpress ecosystem with WP dropping PHP 5.4 in the upcoming WP 6.3?
#
[schmarty] (announcement here https://make.wordpress.org/core/2023/07/05/dropping-support-for-php-5/)
#
GWG Well, we're at 5.6 minimum on most plugins and staying there for now
#
GWG But likely once WordPress settles into 7 we'll start adopting features and upping our minimum... but there are a lot of people on legacy
#
[schmarty] right. not everyone upgrades quickly (or ever?). though i guess those slow-to-update will also keep their old plugin versions around.
#
[schmarty] thanks!
#
GWG [pfefferle] and I have both said we'll follow the cycle balancing how long since the support was dropped and whether we need a feature only provided in later versions
#
GWG So, practical
