Drop support for Drupal 9.x, 10.0 and 10.1

Problem/Motivation

At time-of-writing, Paragraphs Tab Widget claims to support all versions of Drupal 9, all versions of Drupal 10, and all versions of Drupal 11 (i.e.: core_version_requirement: ^9 || ^10 || ^11).

But, at time-of-writing, all versions of Drupal 9; as well as Drupal 10.0, and Drupal 10.1 have been deprecated and don't receive support from the community. Drupal 10.2 is still covered for security fixes until December 2024 → .

The module maintainers don't use Drupal 9, so we don't know if our changes will break it. To add complexity, some older versions of Drupal core support older PHP versions which are out-of-date.

Also our PHPUnit tests are failing on Drupal 9.

Further, maintaining support for older Drupal APIs and PHP versions...

  1. holds us back from using new API/language features that save us time
  2. costs the module's (volunteer!) maintainers time and energy, which are already in short supply

Proposed resolution

Drop support for all versions of Drupal 9. Drop support for Drupal 10.0. Drop support for Drupal 10.1.

Remaining tasks

  1. Write a patch to drop support

  3. RTBC
  4. Commit
  5. Release
