this is in general a good idea, however as said: the more versions, the
older those are the better the chances for regressions.

Who really can test a backported bugfix for 4.3 and to be sure that
nothing else is broken on some other strange place?

If the security issue is really big, there has been always a plan to get
to a fixed version but don't expect that every small XSS in the backend
will be backported to a nonsupported version anymore.
