We should show it at least in 15. Also the PHP doc says so:

/*
 * Whether the php version is still supported (at time of release)
 * according to: https://secure.php.net/supported-versions.php

And to clarify: this is only an entry in the setup checks of the admin settings.

Ah okay, I thought the check in base.php, fine then

I'm no fan of EOL versions, but major distributions like Debian stretch provide only 7.0 and no Backport of 7.1 or 7.2. Buster will release with 7.2 or/and 7.3

Nevertheless we need to tell administrators that they run a version that is not officially supported. I don't want to start a discussion about distributions and that they maybe back port fixes. This is about giving the admin the opportunity to plan for the future and see where potential problems could occur. We need to upgrade our dependencies as well and run into problems because they don't support PHP 7.0 anymore. (see #12021)

This is how it looks like:
