Yup.  Great point.  From upstream, I think a 6month overlap in releases
might be enuf.

So 3.2 would be supported for a total of 12 months from the
initial .0 release.  6 months during thr 3.3 development obviously
and then for 6 months following the 3.3 release.  So at post a
6 month overlap on support between production releases.






cheers, jerry
