This is precisely what we already do -- we guarantee we will support

which minor release will be the last release at the time that
release goes out the door, because the extent to which we keep
releasing on old branches depends in large part on how the new
branch looks.
I think you are using "last release" in a different way. "the last
release" is always the most release release. Right now 6.3 will have
support for longer than 6.4 will, which is the nature of the problem I
raised. If you always supported the most recent release for 24 months
then we wouldn't have any problem.
I mean seriously, if you were to say "We will support 6.4 for 24
months *unless* we find it necessary to release 6.5 then I'd be
totally happy. But that's not what is being said.
