Sorry, but I beg to differ: IMO, * wanting to discontinue FC(N-1) at FC(N+1)test2 is a fault, because it doesn't provide a sufficient overlap to FC(N+1), for users wanting to upgrade from FC(N-1) to FC(N+1) [e.g. FC3->FC5]. * disabling maintainers from providing bugfixes for FE < N-1 by shutting down the build system would be a fault. I.e. IMO, NOW (FC5+xxx weeks) is the time to officially announce FC3 into "bug-fix-only maintenance" but to keep the buildsystem for FE3 up for quite some time. When to shut this down, is a different question (c.f. Security Team thread).
