+1. The other detail to be clarified is that we know 2020-MM (whatever MM ends up being) will be the last upstream 2.7.x binary release (so the security-updates-for-bundled-OpenSSL problem will go away), but we haven't decided yet how other security updates after that point will be handled. If It's just RHEL/CentOS (and maybe Software Collections) keeping the branch alive past the upstream end-of-community-support date it's not a big deal, but if there are other redistributors or folks running self-supported binaries still monitoring it for security updates, then it may make sense to continue putting any required security patches in a common location, even if we stop doing any new upstream releases. > I'm still hoping to relegate 2.7 to universe for 18.04 LTS.
