Although this means the developers presumably won't be worrying about

That's how I would really like to see it is handled. That's also why I
refrained from the vote.
Here is a missing discussion before calling a vote. We may end the
current discussion first and them call for a vote.

I also find the way in the status.xml a bit too harsh: "the effort
[..] is no longer justified." Maybe a native english speaker can
reformulate a bit friendlier in the sense that we just don't have
enough man power to maintain the compatibility, but are willing to
apply provided patches. At the end not much changes to the current
situation, only the failures are less unexpected. And preserving
compatibility should not be so hard without active development.
We also should think about splitting the shared blocks in the near
future! This removes some further compatibility requirements.
