Well, we do try to provide security fixes for releases. So its not
"no support"

Iam not sure if this is wise. This would increase the burden for security fixes
because now any fix to a bug in no release can be ignored. But if distros would
ship random master checkouts everything even if its fixed an hour later could
be relevant to some distribution

besides, i need to make a new 4.1 release because we backported a bug

thanks

If you drop bombs on a foreign country and kill a hundred thousand
innocent people, expect your government to call the consequence
"unprovoked inhuman terrorist attacks" and use it to justify dropping
more bombs and killing more people. The technology changed, the idea is old.
