Yes, agreed. I mean, I know how it got in the release schedule! ;-) But I wrote it in there based on it coming up in different contexts in the preceding discussions, but with various views on the requirements. It does also make sense of the fact that we can't feasibly do four NetCATs in a year, but then maybe the future of that can't be disentangled from this. I think Laszlo's email is a good start to narrowing down what we mean and how. Although I'm not convinced an LTS for more than a year makes much sense with the speed of language updates. > but my take on this: > I think the JDK way looks reasonable.

I get the feeling, given what I said, and what Laszlo said in his email, that we're pretty much saying the same thing here. I was basically making the same point, that those who need an LTS (inc. downstream distributors) make it happen, together, here. The rest of us, the project as a whole, just concentrates on quarterly releases.

If an LTS is feature stable but just getting critical fixes as originally discussed, then those should be backported and pushed out as soon as feasible after merge to master and some testing? Or are you proposing an LTS getting more updates than that?
