I had kind of thought it was five active versions, which translates to
more or less the same thing. In that case, 7.4 would shortly be
dropped. So I ask:
1. Should 7.4 be dropped after the release of 7.4.26?
2. Should there be an articulated, published maintenance policy? Or,
at least, a prominent list saying, "these are the versions we actively
support as of now"?
Thanks,
David
