No, because it isn't a requirement; we do work with older readline
versions, I'm just not sure how far back. I know I have functional
editing and history on an old RedHat box that has readline 3.0.
If anyone wants to research readline 2.* and figure out where the
compatibility boundary is, we could certainly put that into the docs ...
