According to the GitHub repo the project is a simple linear development effort.

That is because there are none.  The current release is supported until a new release is produced, which is whenever the project feels the need.  That is what "linear development" means.

Does the following answer your question?

It is not quite right.
We release security fixes for all versions since 42.2 by default, and we can release security fixes for other versions upon request.
There is no plan to stop fixing security issues in past releases.

Hi Vladimir / David,

Thanks for sharing this valuable information. So in a nutshell , apart from security fixes other bugs will not be fixed for the older versions.

Thanks,
Vikas

That is correct, we do not fix bugs for older versions.

What exactly are you looking for?
