Hi Nathan, thanks for using Struts! By `support`, did you mean security and bug fixes? If so, AFAIK, it's obvious that 2.5.x will receive them in a long term - several years as long as technically possible (@dev please correct me if it's not true). But if you meant new features, despite the java version, I personally experienced it too hard, buggy and boring to manipulate and then support both branches (2.5 and 2.6) for new features.
