We already dropped 3.2 compatibility with the push/fetch support. That was an accident, of course.=20 Support for 3.3 could also end ahead of schedule if we absolutely need some feature that is only available in 3.4. We'll discuss that then, wh= en/if it happens. The plan is to support 3.3 until 3.5 is out (or even longer= if that requires no effort). So much for intent. We reserve the right to change our minds or make mi= stakes without notice. -- robin
