The fact that we reject your request that we provide further support
for 6.2 does not mean we did not understand the question.  It is you
who are not understanding the reply.

What you are asking for is *SUPPORT* for 6.2.  That implies that we
need to guarantee we will spend time *WORKING* on 6.2.  We see no
benefit in doing that.  We would much rather spend that time to
improve things in 6.3, because 6.3 is one of the branches we are
supporting.

As soon as you can tell us how we "support" 6.2 without *working*
on 6.2, then maybe you'll have a more attentive audience.
