People are asking when fixes for php are landing in alpine <old>. we have php85, php84 and php83. five maintained branches (edge, v3.24, v3.23, v3.22, v3.21). This is 15 packages that needs to be fixed. test suite regressions needs to be handled. It is not realistic to expect all that work be done for every php security fix for two years for free.
If you care about one branch, help us fix it. We may accept merge requests if CI is green, but don't *expect* anything
