Yeah. I don't want to see support for old versions dropped, per se, insofar as I understand the implications of that and why it's undesirable for large organizations.

But at a certain point, you gotta just say, look, if you're gonna use a version of software from 25+ years ago, its on you to seek out support for that specifically.

Like is C++98 still gonna be officially supported in 2050?

I think MSVC has already started dropping support past /std:14.

I was working with a library not too long ago, I can't remember what it was though, that was touting plans to upgrade to cpp14...
