GnuPG follows a traditional versioning scheme where even numbers (e.g.
2.2 and 2.4) are release branches and odd numbers (2.3 and 2.5) are
developer branches. So what we have to wait for is 2.4.9 fixing the
vulnerabilities.

Is that still true?

https://gnupg.org/ states:

  Note that the 2.5 series is now declared the stable version of GnuPG.
  Be aware that the oldstable 2.4 series will reach end-of-life in just
  6 months.
