I maintain some projects that are used in a variety of Linux distros. Last year I’ve tried releasing an update with PHP 8.0+ and I had to quickly get it to PHP 7.4 as well to support a decent chunk of users.
What would be a reasonable policy to drop support for older versions? Most users are running in shared hosting, and it’s extremely hard to get decent stats (I can’t know if I’m dealing with a big user base or just a loud minority).
Any tips?

Als Antwort auf Rafael Kassner • • •Are you paid to do so? If not, maintain for whatever PHP versions you want. Common answers are "supported releases only", "active support only", or "latest only."
Anything more then that is at your discretion and your area 1000% within your rights to not bother. Learn to say "fuck you pay me."
