No each Apache projects has their own policy. Some projects only support latest code, and others do support and release patch releases etc. Mind that support is many things. You can always contact any Apache project using the mailing list to ask for help - also for older releases etc. Its just that some Apache projects do not fix and release on older versions. eg its not fun to fix stuff in code that is many years old etc. But the source code is free, and anyone can grab the code, and apply their own fixes. For example if a fix has been merged to a newer release, you can try to apply that same fix on the source code of old fix to try to fix it yourself etc. Also all support from Apache is community and volunteer based. Some Apache projects has commercial support from companies. That are usually the bigger Apache projects. PS: Are you really using Apache Camel 2.1.0 - that is very old.
