Or name at least one. Then nobody would complain.
I'm sure somebody would complain ;-) but yeah, valid. Unfortunately
I was on my 3rd day of less than 3 hours sleep and had to leave in
less than 9 hours from my post, with 12 hours of work to do before
then. I really honestly didn't have the time.
I wanted to hold the post until I returned, but last time I did that I
got dozens of accusations of sitting on it and speaking sooner, etc etc.
I was hoping in my wishes-were-horses brain that someone would provide
some insight into the issues that made obsoleting 6.2 a good idea, so
that on my return I could determine how best to focus my efforts.
But stating "it's all well documented" without providing evidence
doesn't help. I for one was not able to find any open PRs that
deal specifically with 3ware hardware and 6.3, but not 6.[0-2].

Agreed, but he should name the PRs he's referring to.
You know, my crystal ball is at the shop for a check, and
it seems like everybody else's is, too.
Because focusing on the specifics never helps with policy issues.
Every time I raise a policy issue and someone asks for specific bugs
relevant, I answer them and the overall policy issue degrades into the
merits of the specific problem, and usually into insults from people
who don't understand why I don't replace X piece of hardware. The
overall policy question gets lost.
