I don't see why we should remove old code that still works. That we say
we don't "officially" support older versions than 8.2, that's one thing
I would understand. Working on dropping code that should work to make
sure no one can use it with older versions is something I can't
understand.
So, -1 for dropping any code, unless we have proof it contains a bug we
don't want to fix because it's on some old unsupported PostgreSQL
release.
(and when I say "-1", I really want to say "-1000000").
