The background here is, that once 2.7 is released as stable, it'll be released as version 3.0, so 4 is after that. And then if they keep doing 3.2, 3.4 and so on for a long time instead, you can try to remember to tweak the news item to expire before, e.g to a version that drops forward migration support from 2.6. This is all on the premise, that it's a leaf package and only kept shown to those that have it. Mart
