I think no one is using the forward branches and all of them are behind the 
main release/support branches (you may check yourself), so let’s get rid of 
them?

Few questions around support branches such as 4.3, 4.2 etc:
- Do we have any norm on backporting changes, or we do it already? If we don’t 
should we discuss doing something like this as many opensource project do it?
- While backporting should it be only bugfixes or we can backport useful 
features?
- To backport any bugfix or change, how do we commit them on old 
release/support branches such as 4.2, 4.3 etc.? Do we directly commit on them 
or ask present RMs?
