it feature-complete with support consisting of the basics - such as bug-fixes. I mean,
what's wrong with having more than one product? Does Colgate only sell one brand of
toothpaste? Such an attitude in a business would I'm sure pay off in the long term,
as users would know that while the company's in existance they'll continue to get support
for any of the software they buy.

IIRC there is 2.7.6 release planned, and there was something like last
call for bugfixes two or so weeks ago ....
