I understand such policies (even if I may not agree with them), but
companies also need to understand that it usually prevents the
community from supporting them in a meaningful way.

If you need support for ancient (seriously, 2.0.7 is extremely old)
versions, then you need to contact the distribution that is keeping
you on that version.

We'll help if we can, but there's only so much we can do once you hit
a problem that we've already fixed 2 years ago and you won't upgrade.
That and re-diagnosing old bugs is a waste of valuable resources.


I'm not picking on you specifically, its just something that comes up
occasionally.
