A poll could look like this: The Beam community is considering LTS (Long Term Support) for selected releases. LTS releases would only contain critical bug fixes (security, data integrity etc.) and offer an alternative to upgrading to latest Beam release with new features. Please indicate your preference for Beam upgrades: 1) Always upgrading to the latest release because I need latest features along with bug fixes 2) Interested to switch to LTS releases to obtain critical fixes 3) Not upgrading (using older release for other reasons)
