[hibernate-dev] Plans to release 5.2.13?

[Steve Ebersole]

While I understand the sentiment of continuing to develop old lines
(branches) of code, that's just not viable.  And this is something we have
all discussed as a (full) team a few times now.  Once the next development
line is stable we stop developing the older line.  That's even more true
within a release family - there is no need to continue to develop 5.x once
5.x+1 is stable.  We do adjust that procedure slightly around major
releases, meaning that even after 6.0 is stable we continue to do those
5.x+1 releases *for a short time*
