BTW, I can't really see the harm in putting out 7.1.x and 7.2.x releases to fix compilation issues on modern systems.
Also, quite frankly, I don't want to encourage people to keep using such old releases. If they are installing on a new machine they should update to something newer and less buggy.
We need the older versions to be compilable on newer systems to ease in version upgrades and migration.
How could they find themselves in a situation where they have a 7.1 installation that requires dumping for migration, but no binaries due to compilation errors? Isn't that a rather low-probability scenario?
