Should we officially kill the 0.22 ?

There is a discussion in fedora-devel list what to do with the mess
after these non-upstream-communicated 0.3x updates into stable distro.

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=479954
http://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-devel-list/2009-March/msg01272.html

Now the plan is to revert it back to 0.22, with the argument that 'it works'.
Well, for me it mostly never did. And everyone here knows the reasons and
focuses to the trunk, which is of course the right thing to do.

I think that decision is partly based on distro guide banner at front page
that states that 0.22 is the last stable and you should not use the 0.3x
series. Well, that's true, but it's not supported either. Some user might
get hand holding at #opensync but nobody actually cares about 0.22 anyway,
it's just about being nice and trying to help them. Last actual changes in
0.22 are two years old already and I don't think nobody of you have even
compiled it for ages.

In my opinion, we should forget the 0.22 and announce it dead. It just takes
focus and time from trunk that we don't have. Distros having 0.22 is just
making hundreds of users to try it and it's not necesssairly a PR that we
want as it's not working and nobody really supports it. Instead we could lead
the crowd to focus to trunk and that could potentially bring new developers.
It would definately increase testing and bug reporting, which is not bad either.

The fact is that 0.2x is dead and IMO we should say it.
