Sorry, let me try that again. The proposal: 1) start parallel main (3.x) and branch_2x branches now. 2) cut a first release of 3.0.0 by the end of September (maybe October) of 2023 3) Set the EOL for the 2.x branch one year after the first release of 3.0.0 -- possibly set 2.x to "security fixes only" 6 months after the first release of 3.0.0?
In 3.x, we'd require Java 11 and jakarta. We wouldn't make many other major changes.
