 The WordPress Importer plugin has raised the minimum required version of
 PHP to 7.2 as of September 5, 2025 (see [https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-importer/pull/196 the PR on GitHub]).

 This has caused the PHPUnit tests to fail when running on older versions
 of PHP.

 The test workflow either needs a new boolean input to control whether
 these tests run, or the importer tests should be disabled entirely in
 older branches supporting PHP 7.1 and earlier.
