Roadmap v3 / PHPUnit 11

[jrfnl]

PHPUnit 11 has just been released.

As this is a major release with breaking changes, upgrading should be a done deliberately and managed.
This effectively means that upgrading to a PHPUnit Polyfills version which supports PHPUnit 11 should also be done deliberately and managed, so the Polyfills should get a new major release.

The intention is for the 1.x series and 2.x series to continue to be maintained, for as long as PHPUnit continues to make PHPUnit 9.x/10.x compatible with new PHP versions.
