Conversation on Civi channels is back to 'when do we drop outdated unsupported php versions' ... like, erm, the one we are using.
CIviCRM currently has about 300 sites on php 7 so we should probably go straight to the latest & most performant.
This is probably not a big job, but we would want to do it at a good time of year

| Resolved | None | T158717 Upgrade our CiviCRM server php version to 5.5+ |
Note the php upgrade will happen as a result of the Barium upgrade. We should also remove our 'support php 5.3 hacks' - e.g removing trait files in the drupal codebase & perhaps track that against this.
