 Replying to [comment:34 jrf]:
 > SimplePie has released a new version including the changes needed for
 PHP 7.4 support: https://github.com/simplepie/simplepie/releases/tag/1.5.3

 Due to the late introduction into this cycle, I'm very hesitant for a
 push.  The PHP 7.4 support doesn't concern me necessarily since there is a
 patch available in #47746, but I would like this sort of request to hit a
 release early.  Let's aim for 5.4 with a tag of 'early' so that we can
 properly kick the tires.  I'm not nearly as worried about breaking Core
 functionality as I am dependent plugins.

 We should do some discovery against the largest plugin consumers of the
 library and confirm compatibility first.
