    IMO this is the wrong way of thinking about it.  We're creating the
    Vulnerability Group, which will be responsible for much of the work of
    creating the update.  We will be able to create updates for any
    release we want.  However, there's no way that we're going to be able
    to create and back-ports for very many minor releases.
