Hi
Also forwarding/quoting Lukas Reschke's mail here on debian-release
(it was sent on pkg-owncloud-maintainers maintainer list):

I have to support that what Tom said - we (upstream) just can't
guarantee to support stable4 for such along period.
ownCloud is maturing in a very fast way, a lot of code changed what is
really cool and exciting, but to be honest we're just too few people
to support three different versions upstream and stable4 is - compared
to our newer releases ... let's say it in a nice way ... "not that
good" ;-)
In the future, we might consider to release a LTS version with long
term support, however this certainly won't be ownCloud 4 nor ownCloud
4.5.
To say it in other words: I'm tempted to say that we're going to drop
the support of stable4 with the release of ownCloud 6.0 in a few
months. - It's already a lot of work to support 3 versions, it would
be unreasonable to support 4.
Thanks,
Lukas
