Just tell them that you don't support these versions anymore and to use the
support provided by their own distro or upgrade to one of the versions that is
still supported. AFAIK for most distros it is policy for users to first use the
distros own support channels/bug reporting system, but not all users are aware
of this (and sometimes that support may not mean much).

I just added chicken-4.0.0 to the gentoo testing branch. Our stable branch is
lagging a bit (3.1.0) unfortunately, mostly because things don't necessarily get
moved there unless someone explicitly requests it.
