Generally maintenance of one release stops when there is a successor
STABLE release. I.e. mainenance of 2.5 stopped when 2.6 was released,
and maintenance of 2.6 is likely to more or less stop when 2.7 is
released. But as you said it depends a bit on who's paying for what.

Yes. Bugfixes gets migrated in all directions when seen fit.
