And I made a point that it is, and I've seen no counter-arguments.
Do FSF admins "want" to upgrade the VMs or do they want to stay on old
distros?
They do upgrade them (BTW at least part of that work is done
by Savannah volunteers rather than FSF staff).

By all means, drop support for PHP 8.2 :)
I'm sorry, I don't understand.

That's unfortunate. Are you unable to acquire a no non-free firmware
machine
that works with newer versions of Trisquel?
The reasons don't matter. what matters is, quite a few more
man-hours were contributed to Savane because it could run
on top of older releases of its dependencies.
My mistake. This [1] is probably something else.
That file does nothing substantial. the feature needs more.
After a closer look, I admit that Sergey's version may support
it to some degree, but I see no relevant controls in my Puszcza
package.
