PHP 8.1 will reach its EOL in a month, and the default version in the
ports tree will switch to 8.2. While I understand that some plugins
might not be ready to use php 8.2, you can always install the packages
using php 8.1 if that's the case, while using roundcube with php 8.2
wasn't possible before. With that being said, I suppose the
"IGNORE_WITH_PHP=82" line in roundcube plugins have been added because
roundcube wasn't supporting php 8.2, not because there was certainty
that it was incompatible. So in my opinion the right question should be
"Is it better to blindly remove such line in all plugins or let the
maintainer do it after careful testing?" and not "Is it better to forbid
using roundcude with 8.2 or enabling the plugins without testing?".
