> 2. release branch (the latest release, like the ongoing 2.0) I don't think we need the release branch, because we already have apache release packages and git tags.
> 3. LTS branch (the highest minor number of release in the previous major release, like 1.5) How long does LTS need to be maintained? One year or two years? And 1.5 is not a version suitable for long-term maintenance, etcd v2 will be obsolete soon. > Bugfix will be manually ported to release branch by the maintainer. Apache APISIX does not have the role of maintainer.
