Hi devs,
Given that each development cycle usually starts with bigger changes and
ends with a couple of stabilization releases, IMHO it makes sense to keep
the last branch of a cycle maintained for a while longer.
Our current strategy is to only support two branches at a time, the one
being developed, and the one before it. This means that as soon as [N].0 is
released, [N-1].5.x is dropped. However, the [N-1].5.x branch is much more
stable and polished than the fresh new start of the cycle, so more people
would be interested in using that stable version, especially in enterprise
situations. Thus, I propose to amend our support rule to keep the
end-of-cycle branch active for, let's say, 6 months. Still, this means only
that we backport major or critical issues, which would improve the stability
of that branch, without any new features.
