    I hope that was a *really* sarcastic grin? :)  Could you
imagine...let's just drop support for every old version of an operating
system.  That one would go over well...

    We only support:

        FreeBSD 3.0
        Solaris 2.6 (sparc/x86)
        AIX 4.1
        Linux <insert this weeks version>

    That one would go over *really* well, eh?
