Fabien, thanks for answering, it's very helpful.
I understand entirely regarding keeping changes extremely minimal,
basically just hitting security holes, and infrequent releases. It would
be helpful to give this status a name, something like "security updates
only" that doesn't leave you feeling obligated to do any more than that.
Re: clients paying for paid support, do you mean Sensio's web
development clients? We have had a mix of clients who agree to ongoing
service agreements and clients who agree to pay on a one-off basis for
small enhancements to existing projects later. More than one client has
agreed to new Symfony 2 projects, which is great, and also wants a few
reasonable updates to earlier Symfony 1.4 projects we did for them.

That is not far away.
I'd like to ask for some clarification on exactly what will be
ending in November when the last 1.x-series release of Symfony
reaches its "end of maintenance" date.
For previous releases quite a lot has remained available, but this
is the first time the entire 1.x series (everything on
symfony-project.org <http://symfony-project.org>) has been beyond
its "end of maintenance" at the same time.
Some concrete questions:
* Will the svn repository stay online?
* Will the plugin repository and website stay online?
* Will the documentation stay online?
* If there are parties willing to be part of a "community support"
effort, can they be given the necessary access to the above to make
maintenance releases?
* Alternatively, should those with a need to support Symfony 1.4 in
the future be setting up mirrors of the above and creating a new
"community version" repository?
I'd like to help ensure a smooth transition so folks still
maintaining older client projects (which includes Sensio, surely...)
can answer client concerns about the "end of maintenance date"
responsibly while continuing to promote Symfony 2 for new work.
Thanks!
