Hi,
Apologies if this is the wrong location to raise this, I tried creating a tracker issue but was presented with a message that I needed to search or watch another tracker item first and couldn't find any related.
Moodle 3.9 LTS support has been extended to November 2023 which is great as plans can be committed for this version to be used for the entirety of the next academic year (UK: Aug 22 - Jul 23).
However PHP v7.4 is due to be end of Life November 2022 https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php
From the corresponding tracker item https://tracker.moodle.org/browse/MDL-70745 it seems that only Moodle 3.11 and newer are being prepared for PHP 8.
I am aware that Ubuntu 18.04 LTS supports EOL PHP versions but if you are not hosting on that platform what is the plan to have a supported stack beyond November 2022?
