Maybe in a perfect world............
But when you have vendor maintained applications/servers that run things
like Windows 2000 or the Linux 2.4 kernel or Solaris 8 or SGI, you don't
have a choice but to use the old clients!

Hi Paul,
if you know who the users are, I'd say you can give m sort of final
notice... 'your client will be unsupported as of our next upgrade due
$data, if you haven't upgraded to at least version 5.4, we will be
unable to help you with any problems or guarantee service'. It's sort of
BOFH-style CYA, but nobody would be able to claim that you haven't given
them proper notice.
