No worries, I plan to support 6 and 7 for years to come if at all possible!

I like that "undergrowth" part!
Yes, one reason was always financial. However, some people have been
stuck on older LC versions because of new LC bugs/issues, or old LC
features.
There's often a workaround possible for those cases, but sometimes
there's no budget and authorization to pursue one merely for the sake of
using a newer LC, if an older LC works. So it's in limbo until either LC
fixes the bug or a workaround budget happens.
Come to think of it, I know someone myself who is stuck on LC 5.5 for a
product because of that reason, with a printing bug that showed up in LC
6 and is still with us in LC 9:

Probably some similar cases out there, so I'll think a bit more before
dropping 5.5; if anyone is using 5.5 let me know. Thanks for the feedback!
