I hope that was a *really* sarcastic grin? :) Could you
imagine...let's just drop support for every old version of an operating
system. That one would go over well...

We only support:

FreeBSD 3.0
Solaris 2.6 (sparc/x86)
AIX 4.1
Linux <insert this weeks version>

That one would go over *really* well, eh?
