Re: Squid-2.7 being moved to old releases
I'd really like to see some of the features in a release, and am happy to help where I can.

So at the moment it looks like there will be one final Squid-2.7 release collecting some pending bug fixes, after which maintenance of the Squid-2 tree will cease completely, enabling the project to focus entirely on Squid-3.
