How does one go about doing that when we must still support - upgrading from 2.2/3.0 to 3.11, and - upgrading from 3.11 to 4.0 And what do we mean by "officially supported upgrade paths"? Is it that we will accept fixes for it, or that we are committed to fixing it for you. If some folk are committing to helping users fix bugs with 3.0->4.0 upgrades, and others are committing to help users fix bugs with 3.11->4.0, then it sounds like we need to support both and that is a good thing.
