Is this two-version thing actually something we're committed to doing?
Chuck started doing it at some point, which as release manager is his
decision - but I don't think we ever really decided or announced this as a
policy.

If we're committed to it, we should probably mention it somewhere in the
docs or release how-to. And I should go update our Tidelift data.

Cheers,
Ralf
