Yet another thing I just had to do: upgrading my server to PHP 8, because increasingly, PHP 7 (though still legacy supported by Oracle OS 8) was no longer compatible with upcoming versions of content management code that I use.

So far so good… expect glitches, of course.

Much as I appreciate the effort and value we all receive from open source projects, I think I shall just keep it to myself what I think of forced upgrades and broken backwards compatibility for reasons of code purity.
