"Policy"?  heh, no :)

It has been repeated many times that the 2.6.27 tree is going to be
maintained for a long time.  That is why I am still doing .27 releases,
and will be for quite a while.

The other -stable branches are moving just like they always have been,
nothing is new there.

Hope this helps,
