Maybe we should collect some examples of repositories with such old patches and
then maybe start an effort to "outsource" all those bits into single place,
some sort of "darcs-modernise" so we can drop support for those in mainline
darcs. (Same for the crc zlib bug.)

I'll think how that would be doable.

Yours,
   Petr.

PS: I think it's OK to relax the limit for now. We can restrict it back before
release if we encounter any problems (or if our paranoia wins over us).
