If we can attempt to bring back 0.2 compatibility, I agree it would be most effective to do so here.

We didn't have the infrastructure to make generic Linux binaries with 0.2, but we can perhaps attempt to make a set retroactively. It is a to-do for the Travis setup (http://github.com/JuliaCI/travis-build/issues/2) to allow version numbers in addition to nightly and release, but I think the furthest back for which we have generic Linux binaries is 0.3.1 or thereabouts. This will become very important as soon as we release 0.4.0, otherwise we'll lose 0.3 testing when release becomes 0.4 and nightly becomes 0.5-pre.

I don't think it would be a disaster if we abandoned 0.2 support at this point, given that most 0.2 users were early Julia adopters who have probably upgraded if they are still using Julia. (Although we should update the REQUIRE file then). But I think it is absolutely critical to ensure that 0.3 is still tested when 0.4 is released.

I agree that abandoning 0.2 seems reasonable at this point. I'm not aware of anyone using 0.2 Julia in any production sense.

Even if we do abandon 0.2 support in Compat going forward, however, it is important that we tag at least one new release that actually does support 0.2 (or fix METADATA), in order for Pkg not to be utterly broken (because it will fetch the wrong Compat version right now) on any system that happens to be running 0.2.

We could also go back through the history and find the most recent tagged version (of Compat, BinDeps, etc) which do work on 0.2, and modify the require's in metadata for any newer broken versions. Not sure which is less work.

Sorry for the spam. Not sure what happened with github there.
