--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Commonly an OS (like Ubuntu, Debian, RedHat) will backport security fixes
 to a php version which is otherwise not maintained by PHP upstream.

 Wordpress ignores this fact and asserts that it does not receive security
 updates which is wrong. Instead WordPress must also write about this
 assertion -- that it's assuming the PHP that it's using is upstream PHP.
