There are plenty of people still ;->running 2.2.x, for example, and you even still occasionally see commits ;->to the 2.2.x branch. Possibly some things should be done to make this more official? Publicizing it more widely? Letting more of the people still running/supporting 2.2.x have commit privileges to that branch? Basically, providing a single place for people who need support for this kind of platform to find it for FreeBSD.
