XC5 at its current stage is not PHP 8 ready and the new XC5 is not even close to being released (I suspect) and even if somewhat ready it will be a major upgrade. So lots of breaking changes, waiting on 3rd party modules, bugs, etc.

You should get new host right of way if the current one won't allow you to continue using PHP 7.4.x.

Steve really spoke this into existence. Good job Steve!

Initial review shows most if not all 3rd party modules will require complete overhaul/rewrite. This doesn't sound like a major upgrade. More of a new XC5 platform.
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.

Since most of my vital/best mods are made by you, I won't be upgrading anything soon. Do keep us abreast of your status in upgrading if possible.
