I really don't understand Peter's objection here. This thread has

Well I certainly wouldn't expect us to feel obligated to spend much effort
making 8.1 work with a new Redhat release, for example. We would just say 8.1
is only supported on those systems it was supported on when it was released.
Well, it would certainly depend on how much effort was involved to make
it work. In this case, I drew the line at messing with autoconf ;-) ...
otherwise I might've tried to fix 7.4 as well.
I think your action has been entirely appropriate.
Just to show you how wrong Peter's objection is - yesterday I found
myself having to build 7.1 so I could recover some data for a client. So
we occasionally need to build long, long after the release.
