Could it be possible to use the same schema that Mandriva use + one
"LTS" with three years of support?
Regular releases every six months with 18 month support.
But we could include this "kind of" LTS with 36 month.
Difference with Ubuntu will be that our LTS will be launched only
after the previous LTS ends its cycle.
Something like this: http://img819.imageshack.us/i/mageiareleases.jpg/
My doubt is will Magea community be able to handle the support for
four releases at the same time in semesters when it happen?
If you add the LTS, should regular release support be reduced to 12
months? This way, you'll never have more than 3 releases "alive" at
the same time.

It has been posted before but I guess it's a good read for anyone
willing to push an argument in this debate:
http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/a-story-about-updates-and-people/
It is a nice post explaining the existing different point of views
(bonus to clever points about updates frequency and presentation).
Now, in the same vein, let's put the discussion at rest a little and
have each interested person write down an article with arguments for
the why's and how's. So here is a page for that:
http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=rollingdebate
Please write down your point of view, detail it as explained on the
wiki page, link it and a week from now, everyone involved in the
discussion can have a look at it for a summary.
That won't trigger a change decision at once (way too soon anyway, we
have to roll a first release to assess our new build system and
infrastructure and organisation) but it may at least lay down all
arguments and allow to have a better view of what everyone understand,
agree on definitions and see what is really at stake here. For later
reference, discussion and decision.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers,
Romain
Merci Romain:
This should help a lot. So perhaps a return to this discussion later (a
a new thread!), with a reference to the wiki page for devs and users
alike? Then Mageia will get a better feel for what is the "hoped"
expectation from the devs and users? If people in the new thread were to
argue a statement, we could then offer them the

page as reference.
Sounds great!
