Do people prefer that 5.0 becomes LTS or the next (5.1) ?
Or something else ?
My understanding of the consensus was;
- 5.0 in Dec/Jan
- 5.1 in Jul with API additions, but no ABI/behavior breakage
yes
- 6.0 in Dec 22 with ABI/API/behavior breakage and while 5.1 becomes LTS
we could give 5.1 an LTS "tag" when its released already
also thers the possibility that by december we have nothing that really
benefits from a ABI/API/behavior breakage.
If that happens people might prefer 5.2 over 6.0 i dont know.
An ABI bump doesn't need to be justified by the need to break something
for the sake of an addition, like new fields to structs with ABI-tied
size (of which there are not many, for that matter). It could simply be
done in an scheduled manner to get rid of deprecated stuff that's old
enough to be dropped, giving the project some predictability, and
keeping the tree clean-ish.
thx
