Comment (by masteradhoc):

 Thanks @johnbillion for your work on pushing this. A defined process is
 always better and gives people an early headsup on whats going to be
 needed / possible for core, themes &  plugins.

 Still think a timeline like suggested here
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/57345#comment:77 might be best :)

 ||= WordPress Version =||= Minimum PHP Version =||= PHP EOL since Date*
 =||= Comment =||
 ||WP 6.3||PHP 7.0||31 Dec 2018|| PHP 5.6 Support will be dropped ||
 ||WP 6.4||PHP 7.2||10 Jan 2019\\1 Dec 2019|| PHP 7.0 will be dropped\\PHP
 7.1 Support will be dropped ||
 ||WP 6.5||PHP 7.3||30 Nov 2020||  PHP 7.2 Support will be dropped\\''TBD
 as currently still on 6.26% - might be possible to get that number below
 5% for that release'' ||

 But maybe thats more to catch up and then have a real process.
 Lets get first 6.3 ready and then give you guys some time to prepare this.
 Happy to help.
