 Well, the rule is 3 supported branches at most. It doesn’t mean there’s
 always 3 branches. For example when we release 7.3, we have stable = 
 latest

N.4 release is released (i.e. N.4.1) and then do the switch.
 * Proposal 2: Keep previous N-1.4.x LTS till the next cycle’s first 
 stable
  release is done (i.e. N.0) and then do the
switch.
 Proposal 2 is safer (it allows more time for having at least 2 bugfix
 releases of the N-1.4). It means a bit more work since it means 
 continuing
  to merge bugfixes to N-1.4.x a bit longer.
 I personally have a preference for Proposal 2.
 
 +1 for proposal 2

 WDYT?
 Let’s agree and then we can document it in
 
   http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/VersioningAndReleasePractices
  (and
  add the notion of LTS which we haven’t documented
there btw).
 Thanks
