>but how many packages actually support it anymore?

99%? You won't get the most recent versions because a lot of packages started requiring v1.3 when the new AD and multhreading mechanisms came out, but you can still boot up the LTS and run any standard analysis that existed back when 1.0 was around, which is something like 3000+ packages. Where is your FUD coming from?
