There was discussion in December 2008 <http://n2.nabble.com/-tp1680203p1680203.html> (I missed that, sorry) but the story that I have been told, on various occasions, is that 2.5.x will remain supported until 4.0 is released. The announcement re: 2.1 coincided when 3.0 was released, and we gained the reassurance that: >>> Plone Team offers security fixes and community support for >>> two major releases <http://n2.nabble.com/-tp362555p362555.html> IMHO it would be wrong to change a support policy mid-term, especially when there is less than 100% widespread community appreciation of the benefits of buildout etc..

There were degrees of "If it ain't broke, don't fix it", I also sensed that people had invested greatly in a particular major version.
