Either I'm missing your point, or you're missing my point. There are five release branches now which are "not officially supported", but I have yet to see any circumstance where they have, in fact, not been supported. If those branches were not being supported because people were too busy to support them, I'd understand perfectly; but as far as I can see, those branches *are* being supported. Colin Percival
