Comment (by wonderboymusic):

 I am very against bending over backwards to support bad old plugins. I
 like to think I do things the right way, and with every release, I've had
 to recode something to prepare. Exempting the lowest common denominator
 from such "pain" is just ignoring the problem. There was an admin action
 in 3.5 which was removed without warning that broke 3 of the plugins I
 wrote for our photo editor. Do we not expect plugin authors to be the ones
 responsible for keeping up with the times?
