I'm quite curious to read a follow up on what you mean by unrelated reasons here. Suppose a parallel universe that code written in PHP 5.6 runs without any changes in PHP 8.2. What unrelated changes would people have to not upgrade? If the code runs exactly the same, there's no warnings converted into exceptions that change code execution, no deprecations, no behavior changes, what is it that people would complain about? Or maybe when you wrote "Even if nothing would change in PHP 8" you meant something different than what I interpreted? >
