​My understanding (correct me if I am wrong Jürgen) is that we will do
nothing different for 2.x releases. I think the simplest way to explain it
is that we just 'keep on trucking', doing 2.x releases​ as 'normal' every 4
months until 3.0 is ready. After 2.16 is released, we immediately create
teh 3.0 branch and encourage all new features to be written there.
