There was a problem hiding this comment.
Yes, when we upped minimum version to 5 in last release, we left code deliberately as-is in case there was feedback to pushback on that and allow people to . Whilst it has been noticed, I think we're ready to drop the code now as I'd like a new release in the next weeks or months (so will also go through other PRs). Thanks for taking the time :-)

PR Summary
The minimum PS version the module can be loaded in is 5.1 (since e849068).
All of the conditional compilation checks around
PSV3andPSV4can be removed/simplified.Similarly the runtime checks for anything less than major version 5 can be simplified.
There are probably still some functions acting as compat shims to bridge functionality missing in 3 or 4 which could also be replaced.
