but what for?
i know gnome product developers that had to put their patches into their
2.14.x-long-term-support-version, the 2.18.x-current-stable and the
2.19.x-development branch. it was a huge workload.
gnome does NOT provide big enduser support. gnome users normally get
their distribution from a vendor, on a free or a contract basis. if that
vendor wants to provide long-term support to his customers, he can
always do, but that's not GNOME's task.
