I'm not entirely sure we ever officially had a maintenance/service build story 
in Orbit. Shouldn't the retention policy keep old bundles in place so that 
projects referencing those would still consume them during the Neon series?

FWIW, I recall that David did create a "maintenance" branch for a Mars SR back 
in the days but that was more of an "ad-hoc" thing. I never remember using a 
maintenance branch in Orbit.

I think there is also another thing to consider. IMHO projects should stop 
hard-pinning specific 3rd party versions in the feature.xml - at least in the 
feature they submit into the common repo. This triggers p2 to install multiple 
versions into packages. We also have projects that update dependencies at 
different paces. This is concerning from a security perspective. Should we 
consider something more drastic like target platform filtering when building 
the packages?
