Do we still intend to support them (say because they are needed in web development)? If so, I think we should provide security updates. I have look into Debian LTS support[0]. For 1.8, the LTS support has gone as Debian old old stable[1] is no longer supported since May. For 2.1, it will be supported til 2020 through old stable LTS support[2]. For 2.2, the package was removed when 2.3 was out[3]. What should we do?
