True enough. But I think there is a long-standing consensus that
decisions regarding what software gets built and released should rest
with the community, not the board. And the "center of consensus" in the
community is the framework team, especially for decisions that require
focused effort from a few highly skilled people.
Like I said, I think the board is in generally in favor of this. But
that's different from us "deciding" to continue making security fixes to
2.5.x. The community needs to decide to do that if feels it can/should.
And I think the community will tend to follow the framework team's lead
here.
