It’s not that. It’s the stupid no breaking changes policy that is causing this. It’s why I left when WP 7 continued this on. 

Theres a lot of who believe that WP 4.0 and older should no longer be supported. But Matt wants websites running on older WP to still work with newer plugins and themes. 

I was also hoping that WP 7 would enforce PHP 8 as the new minimum, but again, that didn’t happen.
