Nothing formal. To date, once we put out a new release, all prior
releases will not get any updates. That will probably especially be
true going forward, with much shorter release cycles than we had from
1.2.3 to 2.0, and much fewer changes, hence much less risk of
upgrading. We're still fixing most if not all bugs in RELENG_2_0 and
master (2.1) so if/when a 2.0.2 becomes necessary it'll have a small
number of bug fixes. Once 2.1 is out though, it's unlikely there will
be any further 2.0.x releases. Never seen a need for maintaining older
releases, especially given the resources it would take to do so. If
there were legit reasons (eg. anything other than "I don't want to
upgrade") to stay on a particular release behind the most recent, we
would reconsider that, but historically that's never been the case.
