The Ubuntu long term support release (dapper) still ships with swig
1.3.27. It would be a (needless) pain if that was no longer
supported. Not everyone updates there OS every 6 months or enjoys
building swig from scratch.
Given that only developers are affected, what does it mean to "drop
support"? How much support effort will this really save?
