Two general observations:
- the term 'support' is not defined here, nor on our website. The filename and first heading here implicitly conveys that 'support' is related to 'security', while the (same) text on the website is not in a security specific context and presumably is about where continued development happens.
- the (general) statement about no backporting of security fixes may be read to conflict with the (specific) statement about support for the latest minor version of a previous major version. I am assuming that "specific beats general" and therefore this is an exception to the 'no backporting' rule. But perhaps it is not. I think it would be helpful to clarify this.

I also stumbled over the lack of definition of “support.” I’m assuming it to mean security and bug fixes, but we should probably say that? |
