You made a perfectly valid point that if we start releasing more frequent LTS .0 versions, we would end up promising to support too many lines simultaneously. I hadn't considered that because I was working from the assumption that we aren't releasing new lines frequently enough for that to be a problem, but we'd better document that in HACKING so the dev community doesn't forget that in the future and create that situation. Maybe it'll be an explanation about when to call a release LTS vs Regular. E.g., if there exist two supported release lines then any further releases should be Regular until the older LTS drops out. Also it's a valid point that the explanation about support periods should be easy to understand. Cheers, Nathan
