I've been advocating for dropping ancient compilers for a while. 
However, I think we should NOT just drop a compiler without notification
for at least one release cycle.

If we are sure we want to drop a compiler, decide on it now and
deprecate it for 1.34, then you can drop it in a subsequent release.
