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.

Andy, will you contribute your mcrypt replacement to horde?
