A warning that something is deprecated isn't sufficient reason to bump the
required version. RHEL4/Centos 4 has Python 2.3 on it and is still in
production in many places. For example at Sony Imageworks, they have over 4,000
systems with Centos 4.x and and upgrading an entire facility won't happen for
six months to a year, and yet we want to run svn 1.5 or 1.6.
