• [ ] Decide when/if 9.6 is feasible
  • [ ] How much will work will it take?
  • [ ] Is it even worth it?
• [ ] Decide when/if 10.x is feasible
  • [ ] How much will work will it take?
  • [ ] Is it even worth it?
• [ ] Decide when/if 11.x is feasible (can we skip 10.x or will that take too much work for now?) [>= PHP 8.2]
  • [ ] How much will work will it take?

Since we use GitHub actions we are not using most images from here anymore. In which specific image do you want to update it and what prevents you from just installing it manually locally?
