Hi,

I've read new security advisories page and document about security release 
handing. They are very good. I'm really impressed by your quick actions.

But I have a question about new security relase handling step -- "What versions 
are supported in security fix?"

Your new security release step says (NOTE: Emphasis added mine):

> Package new versions for *all affected versions*;

Are you sure you release *all* affected versions even if end-of-life versions 
are contained?

If so, `The Release Process page 
<http://symfony.com/doc/current/contributing/community/releases.html>`_ should 
explain about this exception.

If not so, means targets of security release are limited to currently supported 
version, you have to:

* Add clear descriptions about targets of security release
* Add descriptions about security vulerability in end-of-life version

Making an exception for security release in end-of-line version is not uncommon 
way. But, in a realistic perspective, providing security fix for end-of-life 
versions might be expensive.

At least, providing security announcements and patches or workarounds for *all* 
affected versions (include end-of-life versions) is a good, I think.

Thanks,
Kousuke
