I see that you both use a bit different logic, so we need to decide how
we count the 6 and 9 months. I understand it the following way:
+ the release is defined by the minor version release, e.g. 3.6
or 4.0
+ regular and extra bugfix releases are provided during the
life time
+ the life starts with the .0 release
+ the life ends when we are not willing to provide any new
bugfix release
I think that it would be fair to make it live at least 4 weeks after the
last scheduled bugfix release. By other words, we should provide extra
bugfix release if we add serious regression into the last bugfix
release.
If we do it this way, the numbers would look like:
version start end length
+ 3.6 Aug 8, 2012 Aug 14, 2013 12 months
+ 4.0 Feb 6, 2013 Nov 20, 2013 9 months
+ 4.1 Jul 24, 2013 May 28, 2013 9 months
It is basically what Michael mentioned because the .0 release is for
early adopters. The release is stable around .3 bugfix relase which is 3
months after the .0 release.

Done, including the marketing hint, see

I wonder if there is a list of certified developers somewhere. I have
found only the description at
