I don't think we can realistically test all of them properly. This is
really the responsibility of the app developers.
Rather, it means that our temporary support for webapps using the 13.10
framework needs to end.
We had already started warning developers about it
http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~click-reviewers/click-reviewers-tools/trunk/revision/189
<http://bazaar.launchpad.net/%7Eclick-reviewers/click-reviewers-tools/trunk/revision/189>
last month.
Now is the time to announce the end of support for the old runtime.
