My suggestion would be to switch to gnuplot v5 as soon as all these

for users who want to keep using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, for example. But you
wouldn't want to wait until 2019 or so when that is offically retired.
There's the non-deb world to monitor too. Fedora etc, plus Arch, SUSE and
so on. (BSD is dead anyway ;) )
