After recently jumping from 2.7.7 to 2.10 without issue myself, I vote for keeping only the 2.10 line. It would seem all other 2.x branches can upgrade to a 2.10.x easily if they feel like upgrading at all, unlike a jump to 3.x, which may require more planning.
I also vote for having only one main 3.x branch. Why are there 3.1.x and 3.2.x seemingly competing, and now 3.3.x? For a community that does not have the resources to manage multiple release lines, you guys sure like to multiply release lines a lot. Cheers Rupert Am Mi., 4.
