If it really is just those releases, then yes, considering the number of cases we apparently have, and considering how ugly it is in some cases to move the weak function anywhere else, maybe banning those versions is the proper thing to do.
It probably won't hurt very many people - yeah, some people will be forced to upgrade, but I have this memory of early 4.1 having had other bugs anyway, so it's probably a good idea.
