Per T316078 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T316078>, quibble tests
(PHPUnit, Selenium, etc.) now need to pass on PHP 8.1 for automatic
merges of changes in Gerrit.
Thanks to everyone who helped to make that happen.
PHP 8.1 support is a focus of the Wikimedia Performance Team. We want
to unblock the WMF production migration to PHP 8.1, which will be led
by Service Operations. Hopefully Service Operations will be able to
migrate WMF production to PHP 8.1 in the first half of next year.
PHP 8.1 will bring performance improvements which we would like our
users to benefit from. And bringing production closer to the upstream
master branch allows us to more effectively participate in PHP's
community-driven development process.
For the benefit of developers and third party users, I think we should
try to support the latest stable release of PHP. So now is a good time
to start thinking about PHP 8.2 support. General availability of PHP
8.2 is expected on around November 24, according to the PHP wiki
<https://wiki.php.net/todo/php82>. There is a migration guide
<https://www.php.net/manual/en/migration82.php>.
