This is a very good, point we really should drop support for things like gd1 (no reason anymore, latest versions (including bundled) have GIF support). These only add a hundreds of ifdefs to the code or prevent usage of new(er) functionality.
IMHO we should see what is the lowest possible version of a lib distributed by commonly used distro and upgrade our requirements to @ least that version.
