Comment:

 Ok time to close this off. All issues in this ticket were addressed
 between 6.4 and 6.7, with the exception of some enhancements that are not
 directly related to compatibility.

 * Deprecation of calling `get_class()` and `get_parent_class()` with no
 parameter was fixed in r56495 for 6.4.
 * Correction to the usage of `ReflectionProperty::setValue()` was fixed in
 r56492 for 6.4.
 * The new `#[Override]` attribute doesn't relate to compatibility. #59232
 proposes its introduction.
 * Changes to error handling in `unserialize()` doesn't affect core,
 however there are improvements that can be made. See #59233.
 * Introduction of the new `json_validate()` function is being proposed in
 #59234, however this looks like it will be a wontfix as using it prior to
 a call to `json_decode()` is redundant. This does not affect
 compatibility.
 * All external dependencies listed in the description have been updated to
 their latest versions and the linked tickets fixed between 6.4 and 6.7.
 All now support at least PHP 8.3.
   * #56692
   * #57873
   * #58079
   * #55604
   * #58224

 This completes the task list for PHP 8.3. Thanks everyone!
