For now, yes but the expectation is users will move to 8.5.x sooner rather than later. > We are primarily concerned about security vulnerability fixes and need to > understand how long those would continue to be delivered on 8.0.x series. The initial plan was that these would have stopped already. The most likely scenario at the moment s that 8.0.x moves to a 3 to 6 monthly release cycle but that depends on there being a release manager to do the releases. > Moving to 8.5.x requires significant efforts from our side and thus trying > to understand pros and cons of remaining on 8.0.x line. Why so much work? 8.0.x to 8.5.x should be a fairly smooth upgrade. If there are problems it would help to know what they are.
