Also, this (Stack Exchange Network) is the place to get support for potentially unsupported features and systems. To say we "can't" support everything is not necessarily true. That is what the community is for. I've used older distributions occasionally because there are some build tools that literally will not work on newer versions. Help I have found here has saved me many times in that regard. Summary: tags should be all or nothing for versions. | |

However, there are lots of reasons somebody might have a question, if only to do something that was possible a few years ago but needs some tweaking today. While I certainly don’t suggest the community should try and support literally every unsupported operating system. I do think we should have an open mind. Likewise, we need tags to support that effort, otherwise we will get questions receiving answers that are not applicable to the operating system being asked about | |
