Unfortunately it's not possible to continue to provide support for older stable branches of Moodle indefinitely due to the amount of work involved. This page describes the process of dropping support for older stable branches.

# Propose a date in MDLSITE-737 for dropping support for 1.a.x 5 months after the final release
