I am starting a vote to update the "Update Policy for old releases" [1] to include additional bugfix support for end of life versions.
As per the discussion thread [2], the change we are voting on is: - Support policy: updated to include: "Upon release of a new Flink minor version, the community will perform one final bugfix release for resolved critical/blocker issues in the Flink minor version losing support." - Release process: add a step to start the discussion thread for the final patch version, if there are resolved critical/blocking issues to flush. Voting schema: since our bylaws [3] do not cover this particular scenario, and releases require PMC involvement, we will use a consensus vote with PMC binding votes.
