This seems to be missing the rationale for why bumping
the minimum version is worth doing. What new feature that
we need is this enabling, or what now-unnecessary bug
workarounds does this permit us to drop?
We shouldn't bump minimum versions of libraries only because
all our supported hosts happen to have something newer.
