What I said was

-----
Because Drupal has expanded a lot over recent years and has been adopted 
by some big sites - surely there is a stronger argument than in the past 
for longer term support.

So maybe the existing security team won't take it on - but if there are 
enough people in the community who do want to support D5 for longer then 
I can't see why anyone else in the community would want to prevent this.

As Shai says - maybe we're not so far apart.
