I can prepare and perform the release.

that's true, I just noticed that if people don't want to upgrade for
certain reasons it is not trivial to use 2.6 + 2.7 in parallel so maybe
for people trying out 2.7 to have a 2.6 that do not fails afterwards.

If someone likes to provide the necessary code and drive the release why
not? One should just not assume that tycho do it for them...
What you say it's true. There is just one problem and it's called "expectations" - Why have you done it for X but not for Y? Why not fix my "very important" case while you fixed these "useless" issues? There used to be maintenance fixes for X years, why not now? and so on and on. Once people get used to certain things happening, changing smth or actually not doing smth (cause you just don't have time!) anymore leads to a great number of complains and discussions that don't create anything else but anger and disappointment.
It might be just me and my Platform experience speaking here. Overall, I'm not against doing maintenance work but I am really cautious to not be thrown in yet another replay of the same story.
