Comment (by johnbillion):

 Yeah it's safe to say there won't be any objection to increasing the
 minimum supported version to 7.4 for WordPress 6.9 given that it won't be
 released this year.

 However I don't think we should start making any changes to trunk to
 remove support for 7.2 and 7.3 just yet. We are looking at potentially 9+
 months of minor releases that will need to continue supporting 7.2, and if
 commits for minor releases are plucked from trunk then it just adds extra
 work to ensure the point releases remain compatible. Maybe we bump the
 minimum support version in trunk in about 6 months?

 This is all assuming the new release schedule remains in place.
