I think that the main source tree is in pretty good shape, so branching off
the 18.0X rather soon might make sense.
There is alweays the next new exiting feature to be included in, but if the
intention is still to make several major releases per year, the next feature
will get into the next release rather soon.
So little stuff gets backported to 17.01, that a possible 17.01.5 would be
just a quick temporary fix, not a proper solution. jow was talking about that
ealier, and a 17.01.5 might be ok as a stopgap or "safe upgrade" from 17.01.x.
If 17.01.5 is really made, at least the mvebu mwlwifi driver should be
updated first. 17.01 still has the ancient June 2017 version of mwlwifi
driver, while master was recently upgrdaed to 2018-03-30 that is likely the
best driver version so far.

Dear all,
If a 18.06 release is still going to require quite a bit of work, I
propose we should look at another 17.01 point release. That should be
a nice stopgap in the form of bug fixes for people that are still
running a stable release. 17.01.4 is getting ancient to be honest.
What do you think?
Yours sincerely,
Jaap Buurman

Hi folks,
It has been exactly a month since Hauke sent his note recommending a release
process for the next OpenWrt stable.
http://lists.infradead.org/pipermail/lede-dev/2018-April/011704.html I have not
seen any further discussion of this proposal.
Given that the OpenWrt/LEDE merger was founded on the desire to improve
communication, I am concerned that we're not talking to each other about
important questions.
It would be OK if we all agreed that we have too many pieces in flux to talk
about a stable release. But I don't think it's too soon to talk about pausing
the project evolution briefly and making the hard decisions about what's in,
what's out. Then most people (who're unwilling to run a snapshot) can get the
benefit of all your effort over the last year.
Thanks for listening,
Rich
