Is there a reason to drop support for 7.4 in a minor release ? The package uses symfony 5.4 components and in the linked page we see that symfony 5.4 supports php >= 7.2.5, so I am not sure why 7.4 would be dropped in grumphp. The supported php versions is irrelevant as most distribution will keep supporting 7.4 for 10+ years.

Hello @pelletiermaxime,

PHP 74 will not be supported anymore by PHP internals in 3 days: https://www.php.net/supported-versions.php

Both Symfon, PHP Internals and most distributions have a major amount of people working on that. We currently don't have room for dealing with more than 3 active PHP versions and 2 major Symfony versions. At PHPro, we always strive to keep our PHP versions up-to-date and don't see the benifit in supporting software that isn't supported by the dependant software's authors anymore.

You can use an older version of GrumPHP on 74 for the next 10+ years, but I am not actively planning on maintaining that version. Don't worry: GrumPHP is very stable at this moment. You only won't receive any new goods on PHP 74 anymore.

Since nothing has changed in the API of GrumPHP, this is not a breaking change and a minor release is OK. You just won't be able to fetch the latest version because of your individual PHP constraints.
