Currently Chris Dornan and I are working on one such proposal, which suggests keeping the six-month release cadence but adopting a tick-tock cycle, we will commit to backporting to every other release for up to two years. The hope is that this will clearly communicate to commercial users desiring stability which releases they should adopt, while preserving the fast release cadence that ensures that new features can end up in users' hands quickly. If anyone is interested in participating in these discussions, please do be in touch. Otherwise, do expect to see a proposal before the HF Tech Track in the next few weeks. Cheers, - Ben
