Comment:

 Thanks for the feedback, @desrosj.

 Here's an update on the action items:

 **Requests library update:** The Requests update from 2.0.11 to 2.0.17 has
 been committed in [61769] (#64752). Thanks for quickly reviewing it!

 **PR for the smaller items:** [PR #11217](https://github.com/WordPress
 /wordpress-develop/pull/11217) addresses items 2, 3, and 5 from the ticket
 description, plus follow-up items 1 and 3 from your comment. See the PR
 description for a summary of each commit.

 For the third-party library violations (item 3), I used file-level
 exclusions in `phpcompat.xml.dist` rather than inline `phpcs:ignore`
 annotations, following the approach used in
 [63168#comment:16](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/63168#comment:16).
 This ensures the exclusions survive future library updates, but has the
 downside that we might miss other violations that might be introduced by
 these libraries in the same file for the same excluded sniff. The affected
 libraries are SimplePie, getID3, Snoopy, and the recently added
 Nyholm/Psr7. All violations are either version-guarded code (unreachable
 on the PHP versions where the deprecation applies) or deprecated function
 usage that the upstream library hasn't addressed yet.

 The PR also includes a temporary commit to exclude violations tracked in
 separate tickets: `NewHTMLEntitiesFlagsDefault.NotSet` (#53465) and
 `utf8_encode` (#55603). This commit is not meant to be merged as-is; the
 plan is to wait for a decision on those tickets first. I've added a note
 to both tickets mentioning that this ticket is blocked by them.

 @johnbillion, there is no planned date for the 3.0.0 stable release yet.
 PHPCompatibilityWP 3.0.0 depends on PHPCompatibility 10.0.0 stable, and
 there is no set timeline for that release, AFAIK.
