The tools are required to handle this either way, because there are 
released version with this specific tokenization and they are not going 
away.

Ubuntu 24.04 LTS ships with PHP 8.3.6 and generally Ubuntu backports 
security fixes instead of upgrading to newer patch versions. As an 
example, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS ships with PHP 8.1.2 + security fixes, not 
with 8.1.29 (which is the newest 8.1.x as of now).

Thus the ship has effectively sailed due to the inclusion in Ubuntu 
24.04 LTS as the arguably most widely used Linux distro.
