Fabien, thanks for answering, it's very helpful. I understand entirely regarding keeping changes extremely minimal, basically just hitting security holes, and infrequent releases. It would be helpful to give this status a name, something like "security updates only" that doesn't leave you feeling obligated to do any more than that.
Re: clients paying for paid support, do you mean Sensio's web development clients? We have had a mix of clients who agree to ongoing service agreements and clients who agree to pay on a one-off basis for small enhancements to existing projects later. More than one client has agreed to new Symfony 2 projects, which is great, and also wants a few reasonable updates to earlier Symfony 1.4 projects we did for them.
