In order to second this statement, I'm (re-)announcing that I'm going to take over 2.6.32 maintenance at a much slower pace, similar to the 2.6.27 branch (which also continues). In short, this means that while critical fixes might cause a quick release, non-critical ones will wait longer before being backported.
If you need quick fixes, you need 3.0. If you can't reboot your servers often enough to be concerned by delayed fixes, you might support sticking to 2.6.32 for a while.
