Re: Xenserver and CEPH ?

How about a LTS version (basically what 4.3 currently is) that undergoes longer testing and receives bugfix releases for a certain amount of time? This is not a true proposal, just venting the idea. I'd even say that new features would have to be in one normal release before it's included in a LTS
