I get this question once every while, so just to make this clear: There is no intention of producing another 3.2.x or 4.0.x JBossAS version. In JIRA you may see a reference to 3.2.8.SP2 and 4.0.5.SP1. This is just to track occasional check-ins to those branches, like bug fixes that eventually target a cumulative patch branch, and need to be tested. So you don't need to mechanically check-in new stuff in those branches, every time e.g. you fix something in Branch_4_2. The only reason to actually produce a new SP release from those branches, is the discovery of a very important security problem. And even then we have the options of releasing a patched library. Testsuite runs are still active on Branch_3_2 and Branch_4_0. They don't run completely clean due to mostly transient failures, but we don't have the cycles to fix them (maybe a good job for an intern?) If you still have questions, let me know. Cheers /Dimitris
