Are we sure downstream packages won't be broken by this? Do we need to do any rebuilds?

[ajayk]

currently there are no packages depending on php-8.3 yet

As Ville says below. It doesn't matter if they are depending on php-8.3, if they depend on php this will mean they get it.

Thanks @mattmoor the only package using php virtual is composer , and I checked the official composer docker image it seems to be bundled with 8.3.1

  composer:lts "-vvv about"
Failed to initialize global composer: Composer could not find the config file: /tmp/composer.json

moving this to draft for now

So, this will mean that anybody asking for php will get it, is that something that we want to do right now, or put another way, will it break something?
Also, There are other provides in this file (config, other subpackages) that will also need to be uncommented for consistency. I sure hope I remembered to label them all 🤔
