[Openstack] Stable Branch, alt title: What happens to Diablo

I've updated http://wiki.openstack.org/StableBranch to put Diablo in
the past, and Essex as the current stable release.

I'm delighted to see that Mark McLoughlin already has "Stable Branch"
on the agenda for the Summit,
http://summit.openstack.org/sessions/view/29

Before the summit I hope to get clarification on "The stable branch
will only be maintained until the next release is out. This period may
be extended if there are volunteers to maintain it beyond this point."

I suspect we can generally agree that Diablo and future each stable -
1 should still be "supported" for some overlap with the current stable
release, and beyond that would be dependent on... well the
organizations dependent on that release.

How long will https://launchpad.net/~openstack-stable-maint continue
to maintain Diablo? Based on that we can determine if there is a group
interested in continuing to own maintenance for an additional period.

I also think we should have messaging at www.
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases is inspirational, though a bit of a
shame that is not on the main ubuntu www.


Thanks,
