I'm not aware that the Squid volunteers have ever given a lifetime for a Squid release. I think, given that its all volunteer work, that what we've been supporting is pretty good. :) -I- see Squid-2.7 as the logical migration path for Squid-2.6 users. Fixes will be backported as appropriate but feature backporting will be done as time permits. Squid-2.7 is a bit of a leap from Squid-2.6 but its only a small leap; its not anywhere near a big a leap as Squid-3 is. That said, the support company I'm setting up should be finalised in a week or so; I'll then actually be offering support contracts on Squid versions. If people pay for support contracts then their specific Squid release versions (2.6, 2.7, 3.0, whatever) will have bugfixes backported as required. If people pay for Squid-2.6 support and enough people are subscribed to it then I'll quite happily keep 2.6 maintained if people are willing to pay. :) Adrian
