[dpdk-users] Relationship between dpdk and dpdk-stable repos

[Jason Preston]

Can someone explain the reason for having a separate dpdk and dpdk-stable repo? 
 The dpdk repo has a tag for the 16.11, but patches for that LTS release 
(16.11.1, etc) are only in dpdk-stable?  Is 17.11 still meant to be the latest 
LTS release?  Why is it not in dpdk-stable?  I’m trying to determine where is 
the best place for me to pull from.
