We encourage you to opt into PHP Runtime Generation 2 now (https://docs.pantheon.io/php-runtime-generation-2#how-to-opt-in) to verify compatibility with your sites and ensure a smooth transition before the automatic upgrade rollout.

Certain OS packages and PHP extensions are not available with PHP Runtime Generation 2. If your site uses any of the following, we recommend opting out of the rollout for now (https://docs.pantheon.io/php-runtime-generation-2#q-how-do-i-opt-out-of-the-upcoming-platform-rollout):
