IIRC, last time such transition was pushed in an uncoordinated way like this (7.3 -> 7.4), it took months to handle. Can we please not repeat this painful experience for such an expected bigger transition (7.4 -> 8.1)?
The current status is holding some of us to actually work on this transition (e.g., I’m not able to properly build and push new versions expected to actually work with recent PHP, and have little view of the remaining issues that could be spotted via autopkgtests in experimental, since little or no bugs were raised on affected packages).
