I am not sure why my name is in that list. I posted -as a comment- on Dries's 
site that I am very much in favor of NOT upgrading. I run most of my sites on 
4.6 and will continue doing so, untill I see a very good reason to upgrade. 
Having the latest nitty gritty coolness and ajaxyness is not a reason to 
upgrade. 
  « Never fix something that aint broken »

If I had sites running on 4.5, I would have ported the security patches to 
these versions. But unfortunately the only sites on < 4.6 are no longer 
suppported by me, or are discontinued. but for 4.6 we will most probably keep 
support for a long time.

Therefore I beleive we should NOT just remove the stuff, nor "officially 
not-support". But: This requires maintainers! We need people to manage and 
support the older versions. I have heard Dries say, over and over, that if 
there are people willing to do this, he will continue support for any 
version.
