That sounds good to me, I agree it's more complete and less disturbing than my
proposition, not sure about "strongly"

Hi All
My suggestion would be:
"Despite our best efforts to maintain up to three active release branches, support for older branches can decrease because our project volunteers
may be focussed on other issues. We strongly recommend using releases from the most recent branch wherever possible"
I think the phrase "because volunteers tend to focus their efforts on issues that hold their interest more" could be seen as a bit negative (i.e
meaning we are not interested enough to fix your problem) which isn't the message we want to send.
Also the word "strongly" is optional so you can remove it if you think it's a
bit too strong - (no pun intended!).
Thanks
Sharan

So you suggest we say anything?
I meant nothing
Yeah.
Or, if you really want to add something, I would rather use a text similar to
what Adrian and Pierre suggested:
"Despite the effort of the community to maintain up to three active release branches, the support for older release branches can decrease - because
volunteers tend to focus their efforts on issues that hold their interest more. Whenever possible, we recommend to use the releases from the most
recent branch."
However even the above paragraph should be reviewed by a committer (e.g.
Sharan, Adrian, Scott) that speaks English as the first language.
