On the [Releases deprecation notice](https://doc.traefik.io/traefik/deprecation/releases/) page, it's clearly stated that Traefik version 3.6 has ended all support as of May 5. However, substantial releases [are still being made](https://github.com/traefik/traefik/releases) on the GitHub repository as lately as yesterday. Can someone please clarify what the support status really is for Traefik 3.6?

Hello @glenb,

A new policy is coming: [Update version support policy starting with v3.6 by nmengin · Pull Request #13627 · traefik/traefik · GitHub](https://github.com/traefik/traefik/pull/13627)

Does that answer your question?
