I would like the minimum to be zero, for the following reason: at some
point Murphy tells us that $OLDVERSION will be unbuildable by $BASEVERSION.
And then those ports simply go poof.

The last time I looked at this problem, we had a few ports that depended
on 2.95 and they were abadnonware ... but still useful ports, so they
had not been nuked.
