In regards to incompatibility with pre-2014.0.0 versions; will 2013.4.0 branch have any continued support with patches or even updated version or any support pre-2014.0.0 is not expected or planed ?
The core group (read: the most active developers) are not going to maintain any pre-2014.0.0 branch. The code base in 2014.0.0 is rather different wrt older versions therefore any "backport" will be really expensive in terms of time and effort.
Only crucial bugfixes are going to be ported to older versions (by means of our maint branch - for a limited time - and the stable kernel releases).
However nobody prevents anyone from the community to take over this task.
