In general, I cannot object to 2.x releases as long as the project can
make them and there are enough users requesting them. IMO, it boils down
to manpower to do release management. Let's wait for Henrik's reaction
because he is the only one volunteering his time to do that for Squid2.

I do not think opening 2.7 for new features is a good idea. It does not
make the new release a lot simpler to make, does it?

Cheers,

Alex.
