+1 I would like to ask…
With no longer providing LTS (or is that just none presently planned), what about the NETCAT teams role? I could be wrong, but as I recall NETCAT testing tended to be more done as part of LTS releases. Would that no longer be the case? Assume some of the NETCAT type testing may be somewhat addressed by automated CI testing but not sure if that’s the whole story. What is meant by “archived” here? * NetBeans 12.0 will be archived from the point of NetBeans 12.6 release. Is this notionally like saying it’s no longer supported, artifacts will be moved out of the mainline view/context (i.e. web pages showing as “old” archived builds)? Is this treated similar to the Netbeans 8.x releases pre-Apache?
