If people are interested in testing and providing feedback they would be 
able to do that within the specified time limit. If a sufficient amount 
of people are not interested in providing feedback either the platform 
can be dropped out of the legacy maintenance or the update can be pushed 
into the main legacy repository after QA work done by the packager. That 
is the proposal.  The way you can help is either by doing the QA work or 
suggesting alternative proposals that would help in preventing important 
security and bug fixes lagging in updates testing for a infinite amount 
of time awaiting feedback.
