It's hard to "mandate" anything in a distributed project like this.
I don't really see a need to either, at least for cases where an
old animal isn't causing us extra work. When it does, though,
it'd be nice to be able to decide "we're not gonna support that
OS version beyond PG nn", and then have a simple recipe to give
the BF owner that's less drastic than "shut it down".
