Hello,

As I'm working havily on web development, I'm wondering mainly about PHP and my 
Wordpress / web apps ecosystem.

I already come from some troubles like the missing port of memcache library in 
favour of memcached lib starting from PHP 7.3 (? - by memory). I found myself 
to arrange to develop a new middleware class for that purpose to adapt it to 
all the existing code.

But now I notice about PHP 8.1:
- FILTER_SANITIZE_STRING has been deprecated in favour of strip_tags() function
- strong type check has been enforced everywhere ie. if strip_tags() receive a 
null param instead of a string is going to fail

I'm wondering what are your thoughs on the subject of PHP different versions, 
in respect to OpenBSD lifecycle. And, indeed, what is going to happen in 
OpenBSD facing this broken compatibility with the past, starting from 8.1.
Are you going to support PHP 7.4 and 8.0 longer or what?

Worrysome this stuff from my side.. I personally have "tons" of  webapps to 
mantain and there is not a "Docker solution".
Is it plausible to come to arrange a "sustainable solution" by the ports, 
chroot or whatever?

Waiting your answers, Thanks.
