I realize that resources to keep chasing this stuff are in
limited supply, but if you solicit the opinion of the community,
I'd bet that more people would rather see 4.x support continue
than 5.x support.

I know that it would be a violation of the stated policy, but I
think that supporting 4.x and 6.x over the next year would
benefit way more people than the current plan of supporting 5.x
and 6.x and eol'ing 4.x.

Yes, fully agreed. I'd much rather have longer support for 4.x than 5.x.

We still have lots of machines running 4.11 here.
