Re: Maintenance Policy?

All,

I'd suggest that we publish an official policy, with the following dates 
for "EOL":

7.4   2009-08-01
8.0   2010-02-01
8.1   2011-01-01
8.2   2012-01-01
8.3   2013-03-01
8.4   2014-08-01

EOL would be defined as:

"After the above dates, the PostgreSQL Project will not promise to 
provide any minor (patch or update) releases of the respective versions, 
whether for security, data loss, or any other issue.  Individual 
companies might choose to continue backporting patches to earlier 
versions, and if they contribute these update releases we will make them 
available.  However, after the final minor release date, there is no 
guarantee that updates will be available and users should upgrade."
