We do this from time to time. The last  (visible)  re-sync  was  with
2.4.20  (ChangeSet  1.1174  =  20021129181904|49831), which is half a
year ago. On the other hand, we don't have the  resources  to  follow
each and every change immediately.

Of course we will follow 2.6 as well.

Why are you asking? Did I give any reason to think we might go out of
business?


Best regards,
