Definitely the latter! In hindsight I wish I'd left LTS out of the release schedule proposal, at least until we had a more consensual view on what it is and what it means. And we never really got to the bottom of that discussion when Laszlo kicked it off after 12.0 either. But in all the discussions that led to it so far, I'd say that the quarterly releases are the ones actually aimed at the majority of users. > Anyways that besides the point, we're releasing software, that software in > my opinion, short or long term support aside should be suitable for as many > users as possible.

Totally agree, although also agree with Laszlo's annoyance about lack of critical / blocking issue, and I think also the 0 votes. Be active not passive - call it! :-) Mind you, part of me thinks that anyone who upgrades to a new macOS within a year of release is just asking for trouble anyway ...
