Process

If anyone starts work on updating PHPCompatibility to handle any of these issues, please either update the above list (if you can) or leave a comment below, so one of the maintainers can update the list.

Once PHP 8.3 comes out, individual issues should be opened for the changes which remain at that point in time.
