From: Numan Siddique <[email protected]> Some users may still be using unsupported releases or branches and may require some bug fixes. It is highly recommended to upgrade to the supported versions. But sometimes a fix maybe requested by the users. Update the documentation to allow such requests if its feasible to backport such fixes.
