I have no objections to dropping wheezy support. But if doing so the
real change is not removing it from the CI scripts and keeping it
around.
There are configs that need to be removed, docs that need to be updated.
Just "git grep wheezy" and you will find many more referrence than just
CI. We do not have a support matrix, but as long as we have code
hanging around, that suggests that a certain distro is supported ... it
should be working.

Dropping wheezy is a topic that probably deserves its own thread.
