Personally I don't use TeXmacs and so don't care whether support for
slightly dated versions of Maxima is dropped or not. However:

While I am all for maintaining compatibility as long as is feasible, I
somehow find it hard to believe that a quintessentially `lazy' user
would update TeXmacs without updating Maxima proper. So the `lazy'
person's old computer will presumably just stay with the old version
of TeXmacs anyway (which will, I suppose, still be available online
for a long time in case someone, somewhere might need or prefer it).
