The current plan is to make 2.7 the last 2.x release.
The theory is that this will encourage people to switch to 3.x.
In practice, the users will get a say in this and time will tell.

When I do polls at conferences, it seems that most participants
have briefly tried 3.x but are continuing to develop in 2.x.
