Hi,
I feel that we are generally guiding our users towards the LTS releases. The minor releases appear to address in particular users who need a particular feature before it hits the next LTS release. In the light of that, I think it would be better to keep the LTS branches open longer and stop doing patch releases for minor releases that are not LTS.

Currently '5.6' is in 'strict' mode and '5.9', 5.10' & '5.11' are in stable... I think we need to change that to be able to work efficiently & get releases out. So I am proposing following changes starting from 1st Feb 2018: - '5.6' will move in 'very strict' mode - '5.9' will move in 'strict' mode. So no direct submissions anymore, just cherry picks from stable - '5.10' will be closed and Qt 5.10.1 will be the final release from Qt 5.10 series (5.6 and 5.9 are LTS branches so we shouldn't keep Qt 5.10 active too long) - '5.11' will be to one and only stable branch br, Jani _______________________________________________ Development mailing list Development@qt-project.org http://lists.qt-project.org/mailman/listinfo/development
