Traditionally, we had one last bugfix release after then next feature release. So I think we should release 3.0.2 right after 3.1 gets releases, and then close the branch for bug fixes. As a consequence, we should continue to backport bug fixes to the 3.0 maintenance branch. Another issue is security releases. For regular releases, I'm still proposing that we provide security fixes up to five (5) years after the original release, which would be until 2014. We need to decide whether to do that for 3.0 as well, and, if not, announce in the final release that it is really final.
