Hi Martin,
thanks for raising the issue. I think the situation is different for the
server and for the client: it is quite acceptable to me that a desktop
app with a very fast pace of development requires recent libs. For the
server, it is preferable to have less stringent requirements, as it will
be more likely to have people that need to install it on older or less
supported distro (see e.g. the recent case with RH).
All the best.
