>As mentioned by @yasu I have marked it DEPRECATED and all variants/flavors will be removed by end of February or starting of March. In fact during the removal of php74 which is supposed to happen sometimes at the end of this year after 28th November we will have to remove zabbix[4|54?]-frontend as they do not support php7*. I am still not sure about the functionality of zabbix without frontend. I think we will be keeping the agent only for the older versions. Zabbix will have php8 support sometimes from 6.2 release which is supposed to be released on August this year.
