I feel like I'm flogging a dead horse, but to me there's a difference
between "good enough" and "the minimum version that we want to support
going forward". Is anyone going to be testing 0.9.42 on a regular basis?

It looks 0.9.42 and 1.0 were released on the same day, so requiring the
former instead of the latter makes little sense to me.

Debian stable has 1.4.2, RHEL 7 has 1.7.5, Ubuntu 16.04 has 1.0.1,
Ubuntu 18.04 has 1.7.2.

So personally I would set the minimum to 1.4.2 (Jan 2017).

And that's all I have to say about that. :)
