I don't think you'll need to worry about that for a long time, if ever.  The
20-year-old SSLv3 has only recently been killed off and that had some pretty
serious security issues.  TLS 1.0 devices will be around for years, possibly
decades, and TLS 1.2 even longer.  Like HTTP 1.1 (vs. HTTP/2), TLS 1.2 could
well stick around forever.
