As the one who instigated this, I obviously agree.

One thing to keep in mind is that supporting old version requires quite 
a bit of effort on our side too, and arguably for no good reason. You 
can always build a local copy LLVM as part of the LDC build process 
which you don't even need to keep around after linking the LDC 
executable (if you use static linking).  In fact, this is exactly how 
the LDC release packages are built.
