Comment (by masteradhoc):

 As we now know that the next WordPress version will be released by
 earliest in the next year it would be amazing to make the decision and
 then use this time to tell everyone that WordPress 6.9 will drop PHP 7.2 +
 7.3 early. This way theme authors, plugin authors and WP developers can
 prepare early.

 As PHP 7.4 is still huge in usage and even if it takes one year to get WP
 6.9 out will not be close to be dropped. So there wouldnt be a need to
 reconsider later.
