Problem/Motivation
In #2842431: [policy] Remove PHP 5.5, 5.6 support in Drupal 8.7 and #2927344: Specifically warn about end dates for PHP support for old versions, we decided to end PHP 5.5 and 5.6 support after determining that most hosting providers had PHP 7.0+ available. However, to better support the community for this upgrade, we also want to track which hosts do not yet support PHP 7.0+. Tracking the availability of PHP 7.1+ will also help us make informed decisions about how long that version is supported.
Proposed resolution
Track which hosting providers do and don't support PHP 7.0+.
