* Blocked by:

* Updates:
** PHP 8.0 compatibility for REL1_35 of MediaWiki core is relatively close. (T266583) Once that's done, we'll work to enable it as voting for (at least) all tarball extensions and then announce functional compatibility in 1.35.2 or whatever release.
** PHP 8.0 compatibility for master/production looks like it is stalled on the replacement for ElasticSearch(!) as PHP 8.0 support may be held back until the new non-OSI licence is in place (T271777, T272111).
