Some CLARITY:

There is not a single committer that I know of who is convinced
by your argument that we (committers) should sign up for the
additional work of supporting 6.2 for an additional 6 months.

That is the answer to your "policy concern".
Let me say again:
        *That* is the answer to your policy concern.
and:
        That *is* the answer to your policy concern.
and:
        That is the answer to your *policy* concern.

If you have specific issues that you experience with 6.3, then
several committers are still willing to investigate those issues,
because those would (presumably) help other users who have
already upgraded to 6.3.
