Can we still maintain a 2.x branch?

See original GitHub issue

2 → 3 introduced breaking changes and some people may still have to stuck with 2.x for some time. Can we still maintain a 2.x branch and release more 2.x versions to fix security vulnerabilities inside dependencies (by just updating package.json)? eg. 2.7.3 had fixed the version of request to 2.81.0 which depend on a risky hoek@4.2.1. We may just need to update request to 2.82.0.

It’s actually not so. There are tons of projects depending on less itself. A fork doesn’t automatically change those references. I don’t want to keep telling those 2.x users “hey switch to my fork because Less is not maintaining 2.x anymore”. This involves a lot, there are very deep dependency chain there in modern JavaScript projects. A full “open-source minded” is not equal to ignoring the reality.
