A proposal for changes to LTS #458

Closed

Description

@MylesBorins

I think that we should switch active an maintenance and active time frames for 12.x and on

TL;DR

Current: 6 months
Active LTS: 12 months
Maintenance LTS: 18 months

this would significantly reduce the LTS burden. Thoughts?

    From distribution point of view (SUSE), switching Active LTS with Maintenance LTS is not a problem. It's actually better from stability point of view. But it would always be a better for distros if Maintenance LTS would be increased. I do understand that this is not always possible due to 3rd party code (OpenSSL, for example)

    So no objections here. 👍

    I'm +1 for the switch provided we are flexible enough to get changes into Maintenance when it makes sense.

    I suggest we'll discuss this in our next meeting.

    Has this been settled on? Based on #477 landing, it seems like it has been, and this should be closed.

    We need to update the general policy. Here's a PR: #492
