docs: security policy change to only support each active major release (
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
canonical#1297)

We strongly encourage charms to use the latest release of ops, and put
in a lot of effort to make sure that there are no compatibility issues
that would prevent that. As such, rather than promising to do security
releases for a year of versions (with our monthly release cadence, this
would generally mean 10-12 security releases), only promise to do one
for each active major release (so that would be only for 2.x now, and
might be 2.x and 3.x at some point in the future).

This is all that we promise, but we could, of course, choose to do more
if there was some reason to do so on a case-by-case basis.

This seems to balance the amount of work required to do many small
releases and the work that we put into compatibility better than the
previous policy.
