Although I want to be able to use PHP 7.3 in code right now, I am also in favour of just running with PHP 7.2 for now. There are some cool features in 7.3 but not that valuable, IMHO, to worry about too much.

Also, to fix the test, please edit the file at core/assets/scaffold/files/htaccess as well.

And yes, I think the patch is missing the change to require PHP 7.2 or more.
