Did I misunderstand , or is GNOME 3.2 not going to have any fixes after 3.2.2,
although 3.4 will still not be ready at that time, leaving users with several
months without any fixes ? I would understand that 3.2 would stop being
supported a few months after 3.4 is out, but if really support stops *before*,
that's puzzling :)
For small projects, I can understand that developers always want to you to use
the latest (lastest stable version at least), but for bigger projects such as
a DE, I would find it surprising. We all know that once a major version has
been released, it will have users for years.
When users report a bug in Mageia 1, we don't tell them "use cauldron, it's
fixed them": we try to fix it in Mageia 1.
Best regards
Samuel
