Yes, this is kind of unfortunate that we don't have unlimited manpower
to maintain everything forever. It's not very realistic either. Choices,
best effort, compromises. I'm sure you understand that 1.3 and later is
a better use of our resources.
You can still build a 1.2 simulator and put it on AMO for other people
that really need 1.2 - or keep using the latest released version. Not
ideal, but this version is frozen anyway.
