Here are the stats from the latest server survey: 10.10 (8) 1793 33.17% 10.04 LTS (7) 2880 53.28% 9.10 (6) 461 8.53% 9.04 (5) 306 5.66% 8.10 (4) 121 2.24% 8.04LTS (3) 854 15.80% 6.06LTS (1) 104 1.92% Which confirms you point: 71% of our user base is on an LTS. > The policy of cherrypicking > fixes from the development releases does not scale in my opinon.

Strongly agree on this point if we focus on stable release for a list of specified packages (defining this list should be our first task). I would suggest that our commitment should be the same as for point releases: for the list of packages, stable releases would be made available until the next LTS, on PPA per stable release. The PPA usage would, I think, ensure that people do not upgrade to a major new version without knowing it. Nick
