ISTR that some packagers were not happy with our LTS vs. Regular release system, because it was too much work for them to pick up such a regular release if it wasn't supported for very long. So making this a regular release which we might only support for 6 months might mean that some packagers will ignore it. Not sure whether this is important ... just putting it out here. Sorry, I can't find relevant threads right now (where actual packagers chime in), but there was this discussion on dev@ [1] that contains some relevant points. Though it's not clear to me what the actual conclusion was. [1] https://lists.apache.org/thread/prqv7gr1od4jpmxy670fxlq1gkc21zb5 -- Johan
