PHP 7.0 reached End Of Life, newer Doctrine and MariaDB 10.2/10.3 Support should be possible

Description
Hi,
the incompatibility of TYPO3 8.7 and MariaDB 10.2 hit us out of the blue, and we did not notice the problems with the older doctrine untill it was too late.
The Minimum requirement of TYPO3 for PHP 7.0 doesn't seem to hold up very much, so is there a way to get doctrine into TYPO3 8.7? Can I patch it locally?
We do not use Composer, so we are quite dependent on what TER and the ZIP-Versions of TYPO3 offer.
Are there other reasons to not update doctrine in the core or is it just that commitment to PHP 7.0?

It's just not possible to break the PHP version compatibility to v7.0 in LTS releases. Please consider using a Composer-based approach for your scenario. OS distributions still use PHP 7.0 as base for a longer time (e.g. Ubuntu 16.04 which has support for five years until 2021) - that's independent of the EOL announcement of the PHP community for v7.0.
For special scenarios it also would be possible to have your own fork of the TYPO3.CMS Git repository, raise the requirement of doctrine/dbal and package your own TYPO3 version using the public releases script at https://github.com/typo3/darth
