The packages from the CentOS Storage SIG will by default provide the

an extra step to enable.

I am not sure how we can handle this in other distributions (or also
with the packages on d.g.o.).

Maybe we should not flip the LATEST for non-RPM distributions in
d.g.o? or should we introduce LTM/LATEST and encourage users to change
their repository files to point to this?

I like having LATEST and LTM symlinks, but---

Did we decide that after 3.8 the next LTM release will be 3.10? (Or 4.0 whenever that lands?) And an LTM release is maintained for 12 or 18 months?

If so there probably will be two active LTM releases, assuming we can ship the next releases on time.

We should have LTM-3.8 and eventually LTM-3.10 symlinks then. Or are there other ideas?

Packaging in distributions would be handled by package maintainers and
I presume they can decide the appropriateness of a release for
packaging?

Indeed. Well, that's the status quo, and beyond our control in any event.
