Can others approve or comment on this reduced plan please, especially those who
+1'd the previous statement ( http://svn.apache.org/r1834111 ) which I now
think was too onerous?

Suggested wording:
[[[
Subversions delivers two kinds of stable releases:
* Long Term Support (LTS):
- release every 2 years; 4 years support; emphasis on stability
* standard:
- release every 6 months; 6 months support; emphasis on features
Support means we will fix critical issues (security/corruption). We may also
sometimes fix other issues as appropriate to the emphasis of each release.
]]]
I also invite suggestions for a better name than "standard" for the 6-month
releases. ("Quick", "unstable", "enthusiast", ...)
