Comment (by johanvdw):

 What should users of these software do when security problems occur in the
 1.8 branch?

 Can we consider these web based software mature enough for inclusion if
 they rely on an unsupported development framework?

 My recommendation would be that their community releases a version relying
 on 1.11. Not for OSGeo Live, but because it is in their users interest.

 I'm not really black-white on this, but at least we should first hear the
 maintainers on this before we even consider backporting.

 On xenial 1.8 is in main, so it may still get security updates through
 canonical.
