Was there a conclusion out of the recent discussion on EOL policy? The
consensus seemed to be something like: "We will maintain releases to the
best of our ability for at least 2 years plus 1 release cycle. After
that, support may be dropped at any time when maintenance becomes
difficult."

Have we actually officially stopped supporting the 7.2 series?

All this needs some announcement from the core trsam, IMNSHO - there has
been some confusion over it (e.g. I saw someone recently saying we had
stopped supporting the 7.3 series, which the above would seem to
indicate is not true).

cheers
