I imagine a decade worth of deprecation is probably sufficient to put it
out of the requirements of SWORD's targetted support. I believe we usually
compare againt any LTS versions of Ubuntu, current Debian and RHEL as our
benchmarks for "old enough". AFAIK all of those fall within the past decade
with at least one release!
