I did a search on the hosts and found that most still use PHP 5.6.40 ....... That's why I can not use Laravel and I probably will not be able to use CodeIgniter 4 ......

Google Cloud finally got PHP 7.2 for App Engine Standard late last year. Moving to 7.3 may make CI4 incompatible with a large swath of cloud services- I'm not sure what AWS and Azure are doing.
Edit: Looks like Azure supports 5.6, 7.0, 7.2. AWS is whatever version you to install.

IMO is better to require the oldest version possible.
Some applications at my work are running on a ubuntu box with php 5.5.9 (not using CI though), and there is no reason to upgrade this server.
I like the idea of deploying and never touch it again unless really required.
If there is nothing really fancy in 7.3, then stick to 7.2

It would be best if it supports lowest possible (the features used for developing the framework itself) up to latest.
In case the framework works 100% under 7.2 why to skip it?
Seeing PHP 7.4 major feature (adding typed properties + preload) most likely CI 4.1 or 4.2 will require for sure min of PHP 7.4 so it will be good if we have at least 1 CI 4 vers with lower requirements.

I agree @sv3tli0, @puschie, the minimum should be 7.2 and recommended is 7.3.
