   No; just the 3.2.x branch.  The 3.1.x branch will be unmaintained after
   that point -- the only way there will be a 3.1.2 release is if someone
   else gets motivated to make another release.  For non-C++ users, 3.2.1
   will be what 3.1.2 would have been; for C++ users it will be that,
   except with an incompatible ABI.

This sounds like nobody is supposed to care about 3.1.x
anymore, right?  Essentially whoever is using 3.1.x and
doesn't want the c++ ABI change, well they won't get bug
fix releases anymore past 3.1.1.  Do I understand this
correctly?
