Speaking with my Release Manager hat on, I would be willing to commit to producing some additional 0.6 releases after 0.7, providing there were release-worthy changes merged to that branch. "Release-worthy changes" is really the key though because you need people willing to back-port important fixes, people to merge them, and enough testing and feedback to avoid nasty regressions, (and of course you need consensus from the rest of the project that long(ish)-term support doesn't interfere with the project's goals). So far there hasn't been sufficient interest to pursue this, and old stable releases have become dead-branches as soon as a new stable release is made. -- Eric Evans eev...@rackspace.com
