It's not a matter of simply accepting any improvements for 2.7 even from
volunteers. If 2.8 happened, among other things people would have to
- make releases (building installers, etc)
- review new features
- triage bugs
- fix bugs in new features
- maintain yet another branch

It would surely add overhead for everyone.
