I still do not understand why you're expecting the whole PHP project to put in enormous efforts to keep the backwards compatibility and solve your problems (temporarily) instead of you doing so. What's stopping you from using the last supported PHP version by that codebase and fixing or, worst case scenario, rewriting it if you wish, while on that (non latest) PHP version? What causes the desperation to update to the latest PHP? Is it new features or security fixes, or both?
