The servers already stopped testing these old versions. And it might also be 
interesting for everyone that the extra "build/" directory was dropped. We 
only needed this directory because we had to patch the sources before each 
build. This is currently not necessary anymore.

Unfortunately, we will have to keep compat-sources and some of the really 
crude hacks until mid 2020.

Kind regards,
