It is fine to support 0.10.x in Buildroot to support ARMv5 while 0.10.x
is still maintained upstream. But as Peter mentioned, the support for
0.10.x upstream will stop soon, so we should also remove it from
Buildroot.

Yes, it will leave people using ARMv5 without a NodeJS implementation,
but that's upstream decision. If those people are unhappy with upstream
decision, they should talk with upstream directly.

Best regards,

Thomas
