So far everything looks fine. I am even using PHP 8.1 in production for a week now, without any issues. So I'd like to move the packages to [extra].
The remaining blocker is nextcloud though. What is the best option to resolve this? 1) Remove the version constraint 2) same as above + try to apply the upstream patch: https://github.com/nextcloud/server/pull/29862 3) temporary depend on php7; I'd like to remove that package soon though 4) anything else?
