"Movement"? We did in fact support 7.3 for five years. Other than the
special case of deciding to obsolete pre-8.2 Windows ports, I don't see
anything on the horizon that would cause us to obsolete the current
releases earlier. If anything, I foresee pressure to support the latest
releases longer than that, since as Greg said, they are more credible
long-term prospects than 7.x ever was.
