PHP 8 is under the php license, which is OSI approved:
https://opensource.org/license/php-3-01/
So yes, you are free to utilize it. What support do you feel is currently
missing?

Hey Amanda,
There's no policy that I'm aware of which prevents you from installing PHP
8 on a WMCS VM, providing you're careful with the source/licence [0] and
potential effects on package upgrades —
packages.sury.org/php [1] is my
go-to DPA for PHP 8.

I apologize if this discussion is already
occurring in a task, I am
terrible at finding relevant phab tasks people haven't linked.
But I assume that PHP 8 can not be loaded onto WM Cloud Servers by a
matter of policy, correct?
My concern here is, I have some code that just lost security patches due
to EOL. The next upgrade only supports PHP 8.
It has the ability to leave a huge gap in the security of my code.
Is there any plan to support PHP 8 any time soon?
