Do any old ports depend on an older version such that they won't work with a version not being considered for removal?

Will the oldest version to be kept still work on at least Snow Leopard? (useful among old OS versions as the last with the original Rosetta)

If neither of those is a problem, and it's no longer supported upstream, then good riddance, IMO, esp. IF migration is straightforward, old databases still work without being dumped and reloaded, etc.
