I think that we should remove Hive 2 and Hive 3. We already agreed to remove Hive 2, but Hive 3 is not compatible with the project anymore and is already EOL and will not see a release to update it so that it can be compatible. Anyone using the existing Hive 3 support should be able to continue using older releases.
In general, I think it's a good idea to let people use older releases when these situations happen. It is difficult for the project to continue to support libraries that are EOL and I don't think there's a great justification for it, considering Iceberg support in Hive 4 is native and much better!
