We've never (as far as i know) formally defined about what the goal of the LTR is. Is it: 1. a version of QGIS with every bug fix possible backported or 2. a version of QGIS with only absolutely critical bugfixes backported, such as security risks or data corruption bugs (or somewhere between the two) Currently, it's very much 1. We see everything backported from crash fixes to string updates to performance optimisations to backported API. Maybe this is the problem. Maybe we should only be accepting absolutely mission critical bug fixes, and the expectation is to see only 1 or 2 commits between LTR patch release versions. Reality is that every bug fix, regardless of how trivial it seems, brings with it the increased chances of regressions into the stable LTR release... Possibly this is a question we need to raise with our voting panel or user communities, in order to work out exactly what people's desires from the LTR are.
