By all means, drop support for PHP 8.2 :)I'm sorry, I don't understand.
Please forget what I said. I apologize for my tone, which may have been a result of misinterpreting your tone.
Now it seems to make sense to support old versions of those, but if it was me, I would need more persuasion to do so.

Are you unable to acquire a no non-free firmware machinethat works with newer versions of Trisquel?The reasons don't matter. what matters is, quite a few more man-hours were contributed to Savane because it could run on top of older releases of its dependencies.My mistake.
