AFAIK there is no technical obstacle to extend lifetime of particular version on PHP and create some kind of LTS line. For example, PHP 7.4 could be supported for 10-20 years (probably with security patches only), so everyone who has "legacy - do not touch it!" code can stick to 7.4 line. Everyone else could just move on and use PHP 8 with all new features and BC breaks. Regards, Robert Korulczyk
