Ah, that assessment is good to hear.
One other note is that our current php8.0 does not support OpenSSL 3.0,
but php8.1 does. However, there's a workaround patch for php8.0 if

transition is complete.
What's keeping it in -proposed presently is a build issue for armhf due
to a couple unsupported assembly calls (details in wiki).
