I started testing with 13 and stopped at 10 when it worked. :P

For gcc8 yes. That is indeed true. But as we are also removing 12 support
before next quarter it makes a little bit sense to me for faster removal.
So far from experience the build/update time for an entire pkg set in 12
is around 3.5-5 days compared to 2.5-3.5 days in 13 and 14. So after we
create the quarterly it will be there in no time or less than 4 days. As
the build times are reducing with the improvements of compilers I believe
we should not plan on thinking about the safety net any more. But it's just
my observation and experience and am open for discussion.
