The reality is that unless people go out and actually fix the bugs you
can't actually make a statement of 'supporting' the old platform. Maybe
I'm getting confused with the term 'supporting' from a corporate
perspective. Right now, as ever, if you find a bug there is no way you
can force anybody to fix it other than you.

Absolutely, I would like to think that this is the case too...I'm just
confused by your comments saying 'We still support the old platform.
This is an official GNOME policy' and who this is directed towards.
