It really is the case.
At the begining of the project 10 years ago, we had on average of one grave CVE each 2 weeks. Now it's more 2 per year.
Also, as it became more mature, OpenStack has less contributors, so it moves slower. This means codebase between releases changes less, and it is easier to backport.
Also in the past, I had help from upstream (in Nova) for some nasty fixes hard to backport. I do expect help again.
If we take this decision, I'd like to announce it on the openstack-discuss list, so let's make it clear what route we're taking.
