Remove some old compat and update dependencies

[StorytellerCZ]

While looking for old compatibility pre Meteor 1.0 I have found few here in Blaze and have taken the liberty to remove them. At the same time I have also updated the dependencies for the affected packages. Version bump is debatable.

Looks good to me

As we are removing code that maybe someone is still using I believe a major would be better but at least a minor would be required for all affected pages, no?

@filipenevola That is what needs to be discussed. These are all compatibility workarounds for before 1.0 version. I'm fine with both approaches.

I would favor a major version bump if old compat is removed, too. However, I am not sure how big the implications are for packages depending on templating@1.x or blaze@2.x. Especially those "unmaintained" ones will definitely become incompatible of those deps are declared, right?

This is my concern as well but at least a minor bump we should do on all of them.

I still think we should have a minor bump. Why don't you agree?

Minor version bump makes sense to me to keep away from accidentally breaking something.

Then I think we have a consensus for minor version bump due to older packages per @jankapunkt comment.
Or we could make this a basis for the next major version of Blaze and get in there also the modernization work that @harryadel is working on.
