PHP 8.1 is what the largest number of our customers still runs and with another
5 months of upstream support I fail to see how we can force them to upgrade
*now*. Or tell them "sorry, no updates, anymore".

So what would you suggest to get all packages to the latest quarterly version?

Use a separate ports tree for PHP 8.1. and checkout an older libxml release
in that one?

I am still not quite sure I understand the issue. I'll search for some info from
the PHP project in the meantime.

Thanks!
Patrick
