The original plan was to support it at least until 2015. Then they (sort of) extended it. So even according to the original plan, this release is not surprising. If we get another release one year from now, that will be interesting news. Personally, I bet it will happen. Look how long 2.6 lasted. Almost exacly 5 years: 2.6.0 came out October 2008, while 2.6.9 came out 5 years later in October 2013.
