I think that's a bit harsh: he was asking about interoperability, not
reporting a bug.

That said, in the main I agree with you.  If someone has a real need for
2.6 or 6.5.8 interoperability and upgrading isn't an option, then sure,
ask around.  But otherwise, I'd prefer it if anything pre-PGP 9 or
pre-GnuPG 1.2 could just be left on the ash-heap of history.
