Each PHP version is supported for 4 years by the PHP project [1], thus giving folks at least 4 years to handle each deprecation until they are forced to upgrade to a supported PHP version. Best regards Tim Düsterhus [1] And possibly even longer by the various Linux distributions out there. As an example PHP 7.4 is still supported by Debian in the oldstable Bullseye branch and got its last update on 2025-03-19: https://tracker.debian.org/news/1630059/accepted-php74-7433-1deb11u8-source-into-oldstable-security/
