Accessibility and outdated AT

Hi. I am unclear about the following: what is our resposibility as web
designers, to ensure accessibility to all, if some of the people we will
be serving are using outdated AT (e.g., JAWS 6)?

Essentially, I guess I'm asking if web accessibility is required to be
backwards-
compatible. Thanks.
