Easy there guys! I'm in the process of building a new demo server for 
phppgadmin. We use that for demos and testing, especially on these older 
versions. On the current server we support all the way back to 7.0 (on 
slackware 8 iirc).  I fully agree that you don't want to be using these older 
versions if you can avoid it, but just a week or so ago we got a bug report 
from someone using 7.1, so those people are out there, and if we can help 
them I don't see anything wrong with that.
