It takes a small number of people to keep a stable branch going (technically 3, but in practice a slightly higher number). Instead of the group choosing EOL or only-security-fixes-of-some-minimal-severity or something else for a stable branch based on what many people think is interesting to them for whatever reason, I think that the project should limit its concern to ensuring that the community understands the state of the branch and that it is EOL-ed when a sufficient number of people don't care. What we need to know for the 2.2.x branch is basically this: Developers (committers or not): [ ] I am willing to help resolve security issues in the 2.2.x branch. [ ] I am willing to help address non-security issues in the 2.2.x branch. PMC members: [ ] I am willing to test and vote on proposed 2.2.x releases. Maybe this comes up to the same answer, maybe not. (This is not a call for vote; I'm suggesting a very different mindset towards 2.2.x from "nice to focus energy on" and "time to EOL 2.2 and focus on".) -- Born in Roswell... married an alien... http://emptyhammock.com/
