http://n2.nabble.com/-tp2662775p2662775.html and related discussions
highlight the need to re-iterate and/or clarify the support policy that
was [
http://n2.nabble.com/Plone-2.1-now-an-unsupported-release- tp362555p362555.html announced in August 2007].
[
http://plone.org/foundation/meetings/minutes/minutes-may-29-2008 Minutes
from May 2008] drew attention to
http://plone.org/documentation/manual /upgrade-guide/introduction — to me, this page looks fine. It describes a
versioning policy without expressing a support policy.
In [
http://plone.org/foundation/meetings/minutes/minutes-december-11-2008 December 2008, Plone Foundation Board of Directors] asked that ''the
'"unsupported"' marker be removed from 25'' (sic).
(I have not read minutes of other meetings.)
At the moment we have [
http://plone.org/products/plone/releases/3.1.4 Plone 3.1.4 marked as unsupported] less than nine months following its
release. 3.1.5.1 and 3.1.6 are not so marked.

The minuted expression
> "two previous releases" deprecation policy
catches my eye. I wonder whether ''two … releases … '''deprecation'''''
led to misinterpretations concerning the '''''support''''' policy.
