Adding support again later is cheap. Stopping maintaining and testing support for upcoming versions is cheaper than doing that work. Sure it’s political but it is also just a sane approach, to stay away from such disruptive change and treat it as wait-and-see instead of tagging along for the ride. There is not really any technical upside to tagging along and promising support. | ||

> Stopping maintaining and testing support for upcoming versions is cheaper than doing that work. If it’s based on predictions of how some alpha software might turn out in the future then I don’t see how you can claim it’s cheaper. If a bunch of new bug reports came in then you said no, then everyone would understand. This is pretty obviously ideological otherwise. Which is fine, but we shouldn’t pretend otherwise because we might agree with it | ||
