My recollection is that meaningful discussion usually stopped at the
kernel issue. At one point we had some basic agreement that people who
cared were welcome to push to old branches of things to keep them going,

and as there was no effort to actually compose updates for those
releases, it doesn't matter much anyway.
In this respect (the kernel), it's true that something changed
compared to a decade ago: there was no LTS support upstream then. Now,
there is.
