Does the Drupal Security Team really not have anything to do with end of lifed versions of software?In this second part of our Core Confidential Tag1 Team Talk with Drupal Security Team member Michael Hess, Tag1's Michael Meyers asks these questions and more. Learn what the security team does, and doesn’t do when a software version is out of community support, and how you can get help if you aren’t ready to move to Drupal 9.
