> Does whether we call it 3.7 or 4.0 affect how long 3.6 is supported ?

I don't think Alan's comment would suggest that the next feature version 
planned for may would be called other than 3.7.0. IMHO there should be 
more substantial breaking changes to call it 4.0 than just what is 
discussed here. We have never talked about a 4.0 release up to now, 
either in its content or release schedule.

Until now, we have "only" maintained the last feature version during the 
development cycle of the next feature version, ie during 3.7 development 
phase, started after 3.6.0 release, and ending at 3.7.0, we issue point 
release of 3.6.z.  I see that when 3.0 was released we have issued 
bugfix releases of 3.0.z and 2.4.z (the latest one in the 2.y series) in 
parallel until 3.1.0 was released. I guess a similar strategy could 
apply for a 4.0 release (although the benefit/effort to have multiple 
several maintenance branches isn't obvious given than most packagers 
maintain just the last released version). Anyway, this derails from the 
topic of this thread, and could be re-discussed when we are at that point.
