Does this mean there won’t be a 2.4.2?
I'll issuing a few extra 2.4.x maintenance bugfix releases this year, but this
is a courtesy that will eventually stop.

People needing longer support, and potentially backport of features in the 2.4
series, are free to contact their favorite service provider.

Just curious, there seems to be an implicit assumption that proj4/5 and proj6 (or GDAL 2.4 and 2.5 for that matter) can't be installed side by side.  Why is that? Shouldn't they have different .so major versions?  Then wouldn't applications that haven't been updated yet continue to function with the Proj/GDAL version they were built against?

I understand this is a little messy for awhile, but why would this fundamentally be any different than a distro packaging multiple OpenSSL versions or Qt versions to keep all the applications happy?
