BNA has upgraded its production servers to AOLserver v4.0.1 and does not
use any 3.x servers.
We are fine with your suggestion.

This is a great question. How long should we support the 3.x release?
The 4.0 tree is already up to 4.0.5 with 4.0.6 just days away. The
4.0 tree has been considered stable and production-ready for a while
now, but as John points out, AOL has been slow to upgrade all its
servers to 4.0.
While I'm not terribly enthusiastic about the idea, I'm okay with
backporting significant bug fixes to 3.x. However, I am against the
idea of fulfilling any RFE's in 3.x -- the 3.x tree at this point should
be considered feature-frozen and no new features will go into it.
Basically, the 3.x release is officially in support and maintenance
mode, and new development will should only be done in the 4.x tree.
How do others feel about this? Are there other bugs that need to be
fixed in 3.x, other than #517267? (Including the ones fixed in 4.x that
haven't been backported to 3.x yet?)
