Paul Ferraro commented on WFLY-11575:
-------------------------------------

{quote}So there will be no fix delivered for version 13?{quote}
No. We've done 2 major releases since, i.e. 14 and 15.
{quote}Is it that much of a complicated matter to open a branch, or is support for it cancelled?{quote}
It's not complicated.  However, now that WildFly has moved to a 3 month release cadence (to align with the 6-month release cadence of the JDK), it would be cumbersome to backport fixes to so many branches, and still maintain a reasonable level of stability.  Users can always checkout the 13.0.0.Final branch and cherry-pick any fixes from master that you'd like and perform a custom build.  This is trivial to do.
{quote}I would like to avoid migrating to the EE8 enabled versions for now{quote}
Why?  EE8 is fully backwards compatible with EE7 - so your EE7 application should be unaffected.
