Users use releases. Picking a point in time on a development branch - two years isn’t particularly useful for users. There’s a second issue too. There’s a very real possibility that ZoL could get > two years ahead of other platforms. In which case (current ZoL release - 2 years) only matches other ZoL releases. Which would make the whole concept of features=portable meaningless. The more we iterate over this the more convinced I am that tying this feature to user facing supported OS releases is the right way to approach this.
