I agree in being against such an extra requirement unless there are really good 
reasons. I guess there are loads of people clinging to old versions of 
compilers and even operating systems. People who cannot upgrade due to a 
customer requirement or because e.g. Windows Vista doesn't support something or 
other. It is a major bother to all of them to change basic requirements.
