I think for deciding this one needs to look at the versions that are
packaged with the "stable" versions of the common Linux distros.
- Ubuntu, ...
- RHEL, stable version = 5.5 [1], released just 6 months ago.
Taking a look at
ftp://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Client/en/os/SRPMS/
it appears that it is shipped with automake 1.9.6.
- ...
- Slackware, stable version = 13.1 [2],
it is shipped with automake 1.11.1 [3].
So, as long as RHEL 5 is common and still shipping with automake 1.9.6, I
would not like to drop support for it in gnulib.
