I agree. I also think that we should limit the period in which we have two LTS releases under maintenance to not more than 6 months. That limits the amount of releases we have to maintain in parallel, but gives users who want to jump from LTS to LTS ample time to upgrade. Cheers, -- sebas http://www.kde.org | http://vizZzion.org
