Some open-source projects (like Python, for example) have a cutting-edge version but also release security updates, etc. for older versions. So you can still download Python 2.7 for example even though they're pushing Python 3.

It would be like having a Vim 7.2 branch that we would back-port crash fixes and data loss issues and the like from the default branch (7.3). But Vim doesn't work this way, and as far as I know, it hasn't ever worked this way. With Vim it seems there is only ever one active line of development.
