Peff: What's left to be done for it? It wasn't clear to me we actually wanted to do this. It got some complaints, and then somebody showed up to actually fix the compilation problems with the old versions. It also isn't that much of a burden to carry the #ifdefs. The main question is whether we're doing a disservice to users, since those old setups likely aren't well tested. Even if we do proceed, I'm not sure if we'd want the top #error patch, given the reports that distros will sometimes backport features. -Peff
