We'll keep doing what we're currently doing for another year, making<br>
normal bug fix releases with installers. After that, we _won't_ close<br>
2.7 to normal bug fixes as is currently implied by the release schedule.<br>
Instead dealing 2.7 will just be completely optional for core<br>
developers. (The much anticipated vendor support arrives at this point.)<br>
Releases will continue at a measured (6-12 months) pace. These releases<br>
will be source only (unless someone steps up to make installers).<br>
