Changing to a more recent-ish PHP_VERSION_DEFAULT ?

[Jean-Yves Migeon <jym%NetBSD.org@localhost>]

Greetings everyone,

PHP 7.4 was EOL about a year ago, and 8.0 would follow in the next few 
days (source [1]):

Version   EOL
8.0 	  26 Nov 2023
8.1 	  25 Nov 2024
8.2 	  8 Dec 2025

Any reason not to switch PHP_VERSION_DEFAULT to 8.1 or 8.2?

I admit I am dodging all things PHP-related each time deemed possible, 
and I am barely using it besides FPM and roundcube (and to some extent 
davical), but so far I have been running 8.2 on pkgsrc-current without 
not much hiccup to report

I Would like to hear from others who use PHP more broadly

Cheers,
