Did you mean 1.36?

I agree, the older versions look like unmaintained for a long time.

Well... this is much up to the deprecation policy. I don't know the
policy for OE regarding deprecation, but common sense suggests removal
when nobody uses -- or at least, when nobody will be surprised.

For me this would be e.g. acceptable in dev branch when announced
appropriately earlier. In stable... I'd restrain from removing anything
harmless.

I aim for 1.40, too, but feeling no pressure I postponed it, as it looks
time consuming (for me, at least).
