Doc: Don't be too strict on backport request for unsupported versions.
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Some users may still be using unsupported releases or branches and
may require some bug fixes.  It is highly recommended to upgrade to
the supported versions.  But sometimes a fix maybe requested by the
users.  Update the documentation to allow such requests if its feasible
to backport such fixes.

releases. This is to facilitate easy backporting of fixes to LTS
versions that are still receiving regular releases. Even though the branch may
receive additional fixes, no releases will be made with these fixes.

Sometimes, a fix can be backported to these branches if requested by the user
or author of that fix. The request maybe rejected by the maintainers if it is
deemed risky or complex.
