Sure, and that's understandable, but as an upstream developer
we don't support the older versions. The standard process
that almost any open source project will use for "bug reported
against old version" will be to ask the bug reporter to try
to reproduce with a new version. This is basically because
as an open source project relying on volunteer effort for
end-user support, we don't have the resources to investigate
bugs in older versions.
