Closing old Plasma 4 bugs

[Nate Graham]

Yes, in fact I work for a company some of whose employees and customers 
use RHEL 7 (and 6, and 5, believe it or not...). In the end, I don't 
think it's relevant to us. KDE Plasma 4 wasn't the default shell in any 
of these distros anyway, so we are talking about an inherently old, 
niche use case. And anyway, Red Hat is expected to provide support for 
the very old software shipped in these distros, not upstreams like us.
