Hi,
This is not an either-or thing. Of course both having new feature releases and
stable LTS are important. I am not claiming otherwise. My point is that there
are more users for the LTS versions, thus I used the expression. There are a
lot of users for both, we do not need to have a poll to know that these are
both important.
I still would like to emphasize the point I made in my e-mail: this is to me
specifically about what do we do to Qt 5.10 branch after release of Qt 5.10.1.
Not about stopping patch releases altogether for other than LTS.
Yours,
Tuukka

According to what statistics? Also keep in mind that distributions will
download Qt once and redistribute it to thousands of users. And also that
there are 2 classes of Qt users: application developers and end users.
Such a bold claim really ought to be more substantiated than that.
I would on the contrary expect users to want new features sooner rather
than
later, also considering that Qt is almost 100% backwards compatible from
one
release to the next anyway, but that is just a feeling with no statistics
at
all.
