An LTS branch isn't needed if you do version controlled releases and sponsor support for versioned releases for at least 3-4 versions back.

[cut]


As releases mature, 1.0 would be maintained until the fourth or fifth release year following, then pastured, regardless of version number. The only time the main number should be changed is IF and ONLY IF glibc is updated, otherwise 1.0 would transmigrate to 1.1.

How does that sound?


It sounds like Slackware, and there is a clear reason why I have been
using Debian and not Slackware. I believe that the
stable-testing-unstable-experimental organisation is working already
fine. We can discuss whether we have the possibility (and the
resources) to provide long-time support releases, but if you guys want
to make a Slackvuan, then don't count me in.

I think the plan is FIVE branches:

+experimental (always experimental, packages migrate to development)
+development (always development, packages migrate to testing, gets cloned into testing on stable release)
+testing (transforms into stable on release)
*stable (transforms into oldstable on release)
+oldstable (disappears on release)

I think the support given to stable + oldstable is enough for business needs: it may be 2+2 years!
