Dear all,
Let me resurrect this thread as we are nearing to 13.0 and the
relationship between 12.3 and 13.0 is still undecided.
Do we actually need a 13.0 as an LTS especially when Java 17 will be an
LTS in September.
To be honest, I do not know how to imagine these relationships.
@Neil: I think LTS is more than just providing critical fixes. In my
view it is improving usability/stability by conservative patching.

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. We focus on master, if people
want an LTS version, they can step up inside the project and work on
the LTS version.
...
I don't see why a release of an LTS version should happen outside the
project.
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.

I still don't understand this point. 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?
Best wishes,
Neil
