Taken to the extreme, this would mean Debian would still require <insert
obsolete kernel version here> because some users still need it for
obscure reasons.

There comes a point when we can no longer support out-dated stuff any
more, regardless of what the SC says. At best it takes time and effort
on maintaining compatibility that could be better spent elsewhere.

Should the priorities be for the users who want the old stuff or the
users who want the new stuff?
