… the 6.8 branch. The 6.8 PHPUnit matrix runs the full PHP axis (7.2 through 8.4) across three job groups, about 198 matrix jobs, while trunk and 7.0 were trimmed to boundary versions. During a security release several branches run at once, and 6.8's full matrix is the single largest contributor to the concurrent-job peak. Trim the PHP axis to the highest and lowest of each major (7.2, 7.4, 8.0, 8.4), matching trunk and 7.0. The intermediate versions still run on trunk and the weekly scheduled full matrix, so coverage holds. See #65736, see #64083. Props lance.willett@automattic.com.

The 6.8 PHPUnit matrix runs the full PHP axis (
7.2–8.4) across three job groups (about 198 matrix jobs), while trunk (#12719) and 7.0 (#12720) were trimmed to boundary versions. During a security release dry-run I noticed several branches run at once, and their summed matrices approach the GitHub Actions concurrency ceiling. 6.8's full matrix is the single largest contributor.This trims the PHP axis to the highest and lowest of each major (
7.2,7.4,8.0,8.4), matching trunk and 7.0, and drops 6.8 from ~198 to ~99 jobs. The intermediate versions still run on trunk and the weekly scheduled full matrix, so coverage holds.Follows the boundary-trim approach from #64083, extended to the current branches in #65736.
