That's always the problem with guys like you and me who live in the real world. We can't cope with "what should be dead and no longer used". Deprecated tomcat/Java/SSL/You-name-it software that you can't just upgrade because it's used with hardware/software you can't get rid of.
At work we are in the ridiculous state where we have to package old browser + old Java into VMware ThinApp "bubbles" to access production tools.

Removing TSL 1.0 is not a good move. It's possible to provide SSL with TLS 1.2, having protection against protocol downgrade, and still provide TLS 1.1 and 1.0 for older browsers.
