Before posting here about the few things I'm battling to get going, I wanted to know if there is any official or unofficial position on the compatibility of Horde with PHP 7.x. I suppose if there are some known show stoppers, there isn't much point in trying to get things working. Does anybody know what the situation is, please? Searching online for Horde + PHP 7 returns some posts on this list from 2016 - but nothing seemingly more recent.

We have converted the mcrypt code to openssl. That was a little tricky 
because openssl pads the string being encrypted differently than mcrypt. 
  So you have to pad it manually and tell openssl to NOT pad it.

Once that was done everything works on our debian devel server with php 
7.2.4 (debian testing current version) with the exception of 
Service_Weather that has already been mentioned and this non-fatal PHP 
error which was reported at https://bugs.horde.org/ticket/14777.

PHP ERROR: ini_set(): Cannot set 'user' save handler by ini_set() or 
session_module_name() [pid 11131 on
