Problem/Motivation

#3238652-138: [policy] Decide how long major Drupal versions should be supported β†’

Thanks, @xjm. Core may only support two major versions. But technically someone could upgrade form 10.3 to 12, hence a contrib needing to support three branches. This has been a major pain point in major version readiness, spreading support across real-world sites that are upgrading. Shorter minor release cycles actually makes this easier, so there might be less pain.

I just wanted to raise it, just in case. Once this is official, it'd be great to have documentation on best practice for Drupal core support in contributed projects (see also @catch comment in #104.)
