Morgan, what do you mean specifically by support? Since it's an upstream project, typically each new release would obviate the previous one, and new features would only go into the latest version. One valid question is whether or not bugfixes will only go into the latest version, or if the immediate prior version will get updates. (For example, bugfixes are backported to Fedora 15 even though Fedora 16 is out) Also, the term support from an upstream perspective is much different than from a product perspective.
