Hi,
strong +1. This is especially needed for larger deployments that cannot
migrate every 3 months.

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.
