"You should upgrade to a later version" is of course the standard
argument for dropping support for older tools. It doesn't change the
fact that 3.4.4 is an offical release and 'bleeding edge' not much
more than a year ago - which for most projects would be reason enough
to try to support it.

Anyway, 3.4.6 has the same problem.
