I don't think now is the time for that unless it involves code that no longer functions in later JDKs?!

The thing about lazy consensus is that generally you can -1 if you're willing to step up and work on an alternative. Despite Laszlo's great work on a couple of updates, we don't really have anyone still working on triaging issues, backporting and doing updates to really justify us calling it an LTS. So, at least in my opinion, as and until a small group of people want to volunteer to do that and make an LTS work (and define what LTS means), we're not really in any position to provide one. > what > about the NETCAT teams role? I could be wrong, but as I recall NETCAT > testing tended to be more done as part of LTS releases. Would that no > longer be the case? To be decided. Various options have been discussed in the past. We could open up the tests for all beta testers, or run different tribes on different releases, or stop it entirely, or .... I left it out again, because I've no idea what option would pass consensus at the moment. Or, quite frankly, even what I think we should do. > Assume some of the NETCAT type testing may be somewhat addressed by > automated CI testing but not sure if that’s the whole story.

Is this treated similar to the Netbeans 8.x releases > pre-Apache? No, treated the same as every previous Apache release - eg. same thing as everything before 12.5.
