It's one thing to have a configuration bitrot because no one is
motivated and/or capable enough to maintain it.  It's quite another to
decide we don't want to even try keeping that configuration alive.
I'd rather we didn't do the latter for reasons of making our lives
simpler, because it will make someone else's life less simple.
