End of Life Policy

[Paul Querna]

So, we are nearing a new stable branch.  For the first time in a long 
time we will have a no-longer-developed-but-stable-branch in wide use. 
(2.0.x)

I would like to have a semi-official policy on how long we will provide 
security backports for 2.0 releases.

I suggest a value between 6 and 12 months.
Many distrobutions will provide their own security updates anyways, so 
this would be a service to only a portion of our users.

As always, this is open source, and I would not stop anyone from 
continuing support for the 2.0.x branch. My goal is to help set our end 
user's expectations for how long they have to upgrade to 2.2.

Thoughts?
