 Priority:  normal           |  Milestone:  6.8
Component:  Upgrade/Install  |    Version:  trunk
 Severity:  major            |   Keywords:  needs-patch
  Focuses:                   |
-----------------------------+-------------------------
 As discovered by the upgrade checks for 6.8 beta 1, the check for missing
 required extensions during the upgrade process that were added in [59803]
 calls the `WP_Error::has_errors()` method which was introduced in
 WordPress 5.1. This means sites running WordPress prior to 5.1 will
 experience a fatal during the upgrade process.

 The site will remain online and functional, but it won't be possible to
 proceed with the upgrade.
