Let me emphasise that I have been the champion of supporting "older"
hardware. I have spent weeks of my life just getting Mir working on the
original Atom chips. And before that even trying to support Pentium 3's.

But the decision isn't up to me. My work on Pentium 3 graphics was cut
off by Mesa (v8.0?) dropping support for the hardware. And my work on
the original Atoms is now also nullified by Ubuntu dropping support for
32-bit installations. I have tried really hard to make sure we can
support everyone's hardware, but there are other opposing forces.

On the simple matter of priorities though, I think we need to be paying
more attention to Ubuntu 17.10's issues on Radeon and Nvidia hardware
more than this. Simply because many more people are affected by those
problems.
