👍 from me, seeing how little effort goes into it it's a non issue for me. Personally I don't like supporting EOL versions but is doesn't require any real effort to keep it up |

Sounds good, little reason not to. I agree if we ever need new language features we can drop this (and 5.4) again. |

Because why not… :-)
Now more seriously: This project is a low level lib that is used as a building block for quite a few higher level abstractions on top of it. As such, compatibility (even with significantly outdated versions) is a major concern to me.
Note that I'm not suggesting putting significant amount of work into this. The patch is already here and, personally, I see little harm in supporting this.
Also note that I'm not suggesting we need to keep support indefinitely. Should this ever turn out to be a burden in the future, e.g. because we actually require any new language features or some external lib, then I'm all for dropping support again.
