As far as I know many famous Internet company include my previous company have upgrade hadoop from 2.x to 3.x, even some company still use the 2.x or 0.x, they have maintained a private repository internal, and backport the good patch from trunk branch. Regarding this, I suggest to announce that these ancient versions won't be updated after several months. If this suggestion offend anybody, please reply and tell us the version you want to keep.

It's almost three years since Hadoop 3.0.0 was released.
Hadoop 3.x is stable enough and many companies have upgraded their cluster
to 3.x
It's time to encourage people to upgrade to Hadoop 3.x
