Hey Oliver, I was chatting with Carlos about this earlier and encouraged him to reach out to you to better understand your thoughts for considering code coming into the LTS. >From my understanding of what Carlos is asking about, is not pulling anything into an LTS which isn't already in a Weekly release. Rather, I think Carlos is apprehensive about the timing between Weekly releases and LTS, and is worried about missing the last Weekly before our typical 2-weeks-before LTS cutoff." I think Carlos's team has worked quite hard to get the underlying code to enable external artifacts ready, and considers one indication of "success" to have that code delivered in our next LTS cycle, since LTSes are consumed by the vast majority of Jenkins users who would benefit from this functionality. I *hope* I've captured the situation clearly. The questions Carlos has about LTS timing I think are all moot assuming that the aforementioned pull request gets reviewed and merged in a timely manner for next week's release (from my understanding).
