In general we don't do that sort of thing. If you are making other
changes to a piece of code and the backwards compatibility code gets in
the way you can consider removing it, but otherwise you should just
leave it alone.

Besides, there's no such thing as a list of "supported distros". As far
as reasonably possible, we try to support anything that actual users are
using; and we do have people using more than 5 year old installs.
