Comment (by devmooz):

 That sounds like a solid and practical approach.

 Trimming unused and outdated workflow files for older branches makes sense
 — it helps keep maintenance cleaner and more efficient. Removing the
 ----
 performance.yml
 ==  workflow is also reasonable, given that performance tracking is mainly
 relevant for trunk and the latest major branch.

 Reducing the PHPUnit test matrices to boundary versions should
 significantly cut down workflow time and resource usage without
 compromising reliability. It’s a smart balance between test coverage and
 efficiency, especially when managing multiple backports.
