My proposal is that we shoot for 5 years back. If a library has deprecated a

Any takers on 5 years? Different suggestions?
5 years seems reasonable to me. Some distros are *extremely* conservative
and may have long term support versions (staring angrily at RHEL, frex).
Any dissenting opinions out there?
The code I was thinking of whacking is actually there to support old versions
of Magick from over 15 years ago. I think it should be very safe to clean
it out.
Agreed.
