PHP 8 - impact on thirtybees

[30knees]

I saw that PHP 8 is released. Thinking medium term, what is the impact of it on thirtybees, how much work would need to flow into thirtybees and templates, etc.?

Non-trivial. See https://github.com/thirtybees/thirtybees/issues/1265

PHP class 'Attribute' needs a rename to something like 'ProductAttribute', because 'Attribute' is a PHP internal class with PHP8. Which of course would break all modules dealing with such attributes.

Oh thanks for this hint. Now I understand why a tool (added with composer) made problems 😮 It was also this classname...

So that means going through all third-party modules, too... . That could be a nightmare, depending.
