Today (e.g. subject to change) we claim to support as a community the two
most recent feature releases. (for instance, we just stopped support the
4.2.x line with the release of 4.4.0, and currently support 4.3.x and
4.4.x) We support those feature releases with bug fix releases that contain
no additional functionality.
