It looks very cool!
I'm going to see how I try it!

Yea, the big jumps are interesting.
5.6 to 7, in between 7.x its more or less a joke.
7.4 to 8 going to be fun.

If you are unlucky, it takes months to upgrade.
Still got 2 years of Support on 7.4.

7.4 confirmed as the final 7.x version then (security updates aside) ?

@RemindMeBot, Remind my boss after 2 years as he didn't upgrade to PHP 7.4 yet.

Corporate loves to upgrade to an already EOL'd version.
