Thanks Robert, I would like that!

+1 for adding something to the Downloads page. Maybe add it to the FAQ
and link from the downloads page or the other way around? I don't know
what's better.

[Robert Metzger]

I'll update the Wikipedia article and include the details into our wiki.

In addition, what do you think about adding the "update guarantees" on the
download or FAQ page?

Hey Ismael,

thanks for bringing this up. I think it's a very important to
communicate this on the project web page.

There was a discussion [1] about adopting time based releases were
most committers and contributors agreed to support the last two major
versions, e.g. the latest stable and the previous stable (1.2 and 1.1
for our current release).

It would be nice to formulate this officially somewhere with more
details, e.g. previous major release gets critical bug fixes only. The
time based releases Wiki page [2] does not do this currently.

Is that in line with the Wikipedia article? It could be that the
wording was/is confusing.
