I don't think breaking backward-compatibility in that regard is something reasonable.
The latest release is 1.2.2 in 2016, supporting the minimum PHP version 5.3. This means at least 8 years of BC. Your PR is trying to cut it down into 3 years, which IMO is not good.
Don't get me wrong, I don't say having 3-year compatibility is a bad idea. I mean, if we have something with 8-year compatibility and you want to make it 3, we should do it in many small steps, instead of one big step.
I think upgrading the minimum PHP version to 5.6 is a good idea. Or at the very least, we can make it 7.1.

Why support a version of PHP not supported by PHP itself? The minimum supported version should be PHP 7.4. Otherwise you're talking about supporting PHP versions that have been EOL for years, and this is going to cause dependency hell as other packages drop support.

Huge jumps could lag users behind. So instead of jumping to 7.4 in a sudden, we could move to 5.6, 7.2 and then 7.4, for example.
