To be fair, if we did that, we did not communicate accurately the
sentiment of the room at the Kilo summit.  From:

  https://etherpad.openstack.org/p/kilo-summit-ops-stable-branch

  Stable branches starting with stable/icehouse are intended to be
  supported for 15 months (previously it was 9 months), but it depends
  on the community dedicating resources to maintain stable/*

There was definitely skepticism in that room.  I would characterize it
as something like "some people wanted 15 months" and other people said
"that is unlikely to happen based on our track record".  I think the
consensus was akin to "okay, we'll try it and see what happens but no
promises".
