Comment (by chris@…):

 @nacin had a [https://make.wordpress.org/meta/2015/03/01/major-update-to-
 our-version-stats-for-php-mysql-and-wordpress/ post about a year ago]
 (scroll down to the '''Updated March 2''' headline) where he partially
 answered the old PHP/old WP percentage question.

     '''Is there anyway we can see PHP/MySQL versions broken down by what
 WordPress version they are running on?'''
     We’re still working on ensuring the numbers are stable. They’re pretty
 predictable: older WP versions have more people on older PHP and MySQL
 versions. Newer WP versions have less.
     PHP 5.2 is at about 16% for all installs right now. It’s at about 10%
 for installs running WordPress 4.1, but because 4.1 is such a large part
 of the pie (36%), it’s the WP version with the most PHP 5.2 installs.

 I'd be curious to know if there's been an update on this.
