I am afraid I am not on board for this. I do not agree with requiring
me to support old software for years and years after I've stopped using
it. It is not something that interests me as a technical challenge;
instead the task is tedious and boring.
If you think this extra couple of years of support is something you want
to work on, that's fine. Please don't think it is a goal everyone else
in Debian agrees with, or is willing to work on.
