We can do our best to support older distros, and not break things on
purpose, but when time has come, we should not refrain from requiring a
more uop-to-date system.

If we accidentally break something, interested parties can try to fix it
and send patches if that is fixable. If that is not fixable, then there
is not much we can do.

Except add even more host packages and become a distro... :-/

So, my position is you update your autobuilder.

Regards,
Yann E. MORIN.
