several PHP versions will be maintained for 10 years by third-party vendors. PHP5.6 will meet the 10 year mark by 28 august 2024, and freexian.com maintains PHP5.6 with multiple customers paying 6000€/year for 5.6 maintenance. Canonical intends to maintain PHP7.0 until April 2026 for their Ubuntu Pro 16.04. Canonical intends to maintain PHP7.2 until April 2028 for their Ubuntu Pro 18.04. Canonical intends to maintain PHP7.4 until April 2030 for their Ubuntu Pro 20.04. Canonical intends to maintain PHP8.1 until April 2032 for their Ubuntu Pro 22.04.
I'm glad that some people can make money out of all this. The 70+ hours a week that I put in to maintaining my own libraries nets me €16,30 a month from a userbase that averages 120k downloads a day
