Debian 5 is very old (relatively speaking); and GCC12 and GCC13 are on
commodity hardware (x86_64).

I think its of greater benefit to the community to perform the
upgrade. Its probably easier to maintain Debian 8 since its modern,
too. Those who want Debian 5 on x86_64 can easily stand up a local VM.
