MJ,

Because if someone has enough money and wants to adopt it, they can.
I doubt they will (I think only 2.2 has continued much after the
community abandoned it and then not in a very organised way) but it
leaves the door open.

Fair enough. 

It should also encourage RMaints to actually post a Request For
Adoption notice / Orphan warning promptly, rather than our July
meeting being told that some developers thought it was abandoned in
April.  I think there was no big announcement of that... or I missed
it because of other announcements in April and my shortage of time but
http://koha-community.org/download/ says "the previous releases still
being supported are 3.4 and 3.6."  So let's make it less scary for
the RMaint to bow out neatly, right?

If anyone is interested in adopting 3.4, they are hereby requested to do so as there is no current RMaint for the 3.4.x branch.

Regards,
Jared
