Hi, Think we already discussed it partially and said we were in a bad state because only 3.x is supported/worked but no final release is available and that 2.x would be best effort only (not even any guarantee about CVE fixes until somebody does the job like last time). So 3.0.0 is required, M6 is optional IMHO - several of us want to go final directly but Tibor can want another milestone maybe?, and a 2.x to handle potential future work can be desired but others can be dropped I think.
