This only makes sense if the old method is still being updated and
supported, which it isn't. It is already incomplete.

Plus, there are pre-built binaries being supplied, so anyone who can't
adapt (for some reason) is already covered.

I hope we don't include an out-of-date, untested build process in the
next release. There are pre-built binaries of releases anyway, so again
I don't see the issue.
