Hi I recently started a discussion about the current release process. You may have noticed that CloudStack had a few releases in the last 2 months.
My concerns were that many CloudStack users will be confused about these many releases (which one to take? Are fixes backported? How long will it receive fixes? Do I have to upgrade?). We leads me to the question: Does CloudStack need an LTS version? To me it would make sense in many ways: * Users in restrictive cloud environments can choose LTS for getting backwards compatible bug fixes only. * Users in agile cloud environments can choose latest stable and getting new features fast. * CloudStack developers must only maintain the latest stable (mainline) and the LTS version. * CloudStack developers and mainline users can accept, that mainline may break environments but will receive fast forward fixes. To me this would make a lot of sense. I am actually thinking about maintaining 4.5 as a LTS by myself. Any thoughts? +1/-1? Regards René
