When the minimum Remoting version was set to 3.14, that version was about two years old. Now, it is about 5 years old, which is quite a long time. Many new features and bugs have been fixed since then, so I think it makes sense to bump the minimum Remoting version again. Remoting 4.2.1 was released about 2 years ago and had no major regressions, so this seems as good a version as any to start requiring.
