[OPEN-ILS-DEV] Supported releases

[Daniel Wells]

Our initial agreement was to keep 3.1 in at least a security-only support
mode until every "webstaffblocker" had been dealt with.  I think we should
keep to our word on that.

There is just one open bug with that tag:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/evergreen/+bug/1773191

The bug has some movement, so maybe it can be closed out without much more
work.  Short of that, though, I would actually advocate we just remove the
tag from that bug.  A "webstaffblocker", in my opinion, was some process or
function which worked fine in the old client but was completely broken or
missing in the new.  The translatability of these strings is certainly a
legitimate bug, but the issue is structural and transcends the particular
client (though the problem may be more exposed in the new client, I cannot
quite tell).

Any objections to removing that tag?  Then we can put 3.1 peacefully to
rest.  Bonus points for actually testing and signing off instead :)

Sincerely,
Dan
