If we simply leave 2.0 as no-features / critical bugfixes / security bugfixes / any other nice patches someone wants to craft and get votes for - that would be sufficient.
That is how I would want to leave it.
The problem is, this does not set *any* expectations for how long we will provide these fixes.
The PMC would have to be willing to specifically forbid maintenance of
2.0 in order to determine such a date.
No, I do not want to make it forbidden. Rather, I would like a set date where we do not provide _any_ implied support as the HTTPd project.
If people continue back porting changes, thats great, but I would like a time line to help support our users. It is not fair to them to leave the branch with an indeterminate status.
There are more than 3 httpd developers who promise their own customers that their 2.0-based servers will be supported for some years to come with no migration steps required to get critical fixes, and it will be only natural for those folks to want to share any such fixes with the rest of the world.
