This topic arose after 3.4 release. Are we dropping support for 3.2.x release or not?

I've recently reported some bug at eclipse.org bugzilla regarding broken FileDialog for 3.3.x and it was closed, marked as resolved in 3.4 with comment that 3.3.x stream is finished. Actually, this bug is not critical, just annoying.

It just seems that eclipse.org is trying to force users to update their Eclipse soon after next stable release. 3.3 also added some interesting APIs, Robin mentioned it one day. I'm currently just touching TableViewer API and it also have some nice new features being available since 3.3.

Do we still have to be compatible with 3.2 release? It's about 2 years old, with last synchronized release/build February 2007. On the other hand, some commercial tools are still based upon 3.2 release.

Maybe some users (or developers) from mailing list can tell us about their opinion?
