Is there a path available to folks who use MW 1.38 and have hosting
providers that only offer Ubuntu 20.04 with Composer 1? My testing
revealed we could not update to MW 1.39 because of the Composer 2
requirement.

I think our options are... we need to wait until our hosting provider
offers Ubuntu 22.04, or MediaWiki drops the Composer 2 requirement for
MW 1.39.

It is an uncomfortable position to be in.
