>From what I heard this weekend from Matt, there really is going to be nothing 
>more 
done for the "legacy." No one apparently is downloading it; the security 
improvements
really can't be reversed engineered without a lot of work, especially if they 
are dependent
on some of the later work (and server updates). 

Think of it as the time line being moved up. There is also the issue that if 
you don't have
anyone who wants to adopt it and spend their time on 2.0 as apposed to the 
newer versions,
there is not going to be much work put into it.

The reasons I can see for not upgrading would primarily be lack of server 
support for more
recent PHP and mySQL.. 

What you might want to do is assist them in updating to at least 2.5....  Not 
surprisingly, I have
found several holdouts wind up really liking widgets and some of the new hooks.

Betreff: [wp-testers] Whats up with the legacy 2.0 branch?

Hi,

What is the current status of the legacy 2.0 branch?
Seems that the WordPress team already deleted support for this branch
but i can't find information about when this happen and why?....

Isn't this branch the one that promised "security and critical fixes
until 2010"?[1]...
Is it cause debian lenny moved on to 2.5.x?[2]...

Sorry but i just want clarification of this issue cause some people
are still using the legacy branch and they don't want to move on up
the latest stable for his own personal matters so i guess is better
ask here if there gonna be a complete drop over the support of the
legacy 2.0 branch or well another branch will be used as the legacy
branch.
