According to the discussion, we seem to achieve two things.
1. Keep long term support of released versions as a library
2. Deliver new features more swiftly (if possible)
Although we are going to follow semantic versioning,
we may want to consider backporting differently per modules
to achieve
Thank you, William. Yes, it does indeed.
BTW, I'd like to cut 1.7.1 and 1.6.12 next week. I'll start another thread
for that.

Thanks Dongjoon for initiating this.
I wanted to include the release policy into this discussion as that will

I would like to understand the differentiation between a Patch Release X.Y.Z
and a Minor Release X.Y.
Are there any scenarios where a
