have you folks settled on a security support maintenance window,
i.e. having some kind of commitment to try supporting security patches
for releases that are no longer in maintenance mode.

You see where I'm going, I think: what will happen if security issues
are discovered after June 2009 ? Is there a chance that, at least in a
best effort mode, some patches are provided for 3.2.* series?
