roadmap for 0.7 series backports?

[jiri-catalyst]

Is there a roadmap or other plan for the 0.7 series, please?

With the release of 0.7.3 as a backport of the important fixes from the 0.8 series, I'm wondering if there's a plan for how long the 0.7 series will continue to get backports and security updates. Is there some specified policy (X months after 0.8 release), or is it open-ended at this point, or will 0.7.3 be it?

I couldn't find this information on the website and the wiki...

There's no such policy. In general we don't support more than one stable branch. However, we've made an exception this time because 0.8 wasn't adapted by many users still, thanks to the new default skin and its incompatibity with many external plugins. I don't expect more 0.7 releases, but if some customer will really wont it (will pay for it) then we'll do backports and maybe more releases  from this branch.

No worries - thanks for the prompt answer! We'll go with the upgrade to 0.8, then.
