Why?

Some of us are trying to maintain drivers that are being used both in
2.2.x and 2.3.x - having the compatibillity code stripped out
regularly from someone making a quick hack in the 2.3.x tree is a
major pain.

Dropping 1.2.x support is very reasonably and 2.0.x is certainly
debatable, but if an author is actively maintaining the code, it
should be up to him/her to decide.
