If people are stuck on PHP 8.0, they themselves, are already behind...
Most active software companies would have launched a new upgrade / platform that supports PHP 8.2 / 8.1 / 8.0 - by default. Still, let's see, when the "next update" arrives, to avoid making any incorrect or unfair pre-judgments.

The bad news here is 5.5.x "is out of beta" and we did not have a chance to adapt anything to it while it was in beta. Now any new XC5 installations will rely on QT/SL modules only. Any existing XC5 stores will not be able to upgrade for many months.I have over 30 modules. There is no way all of them will be 5.5.x ready soon especially with holidays around the corner. Maybe thought this is a good thing - it will give a chance for the bugs to be worked out before any of the existing stores move to upgrade.
No extra words needed ^
