We will make exceptions +for work related to meeting production readiness requirements. Only the previous +major version will be eligible for these exceptions, so long as the time between +the previous major version and the current major version is under six months. +For example, if "X.0.0" and "X+1.0.0" were released under six months apart, +"X.0.0" would be eligible for new minor releases. + ## Support The Kubernetes CSI project follows the broader Kubernetes project on support.
