+1 for dropping compatibility. I personally think that it is very important for a project to keep a good pace in developing that old legacy stuff must be dropped from time to time. As long as there is an upgrade routine (via going to another flink release) that's fine.

For some cleanup and simplifications, it would be helpful to drop Savepoint compatibility with Flink version 1.2. That version was released almost three years ago. I would expect that no one uses that old version any more in a way that they actively want to upgrade directly to 1.11. Even if, there is still the way to first upgrade to another version (like 1.9) and then upgrade to 1.11 from there. Any concerns to drop that support?
