<div>I meant that every two years we would release one LTR
release and then not again for the next two years.</div>
<div><br class="">
</div>
<div>Though the main intent was to have back ports for 2 years
so we could debate whether it is worthwhile always having
two concurrent LTRs….</div>

<br>
I'd strongly vote for 1 single LTR at a time (be it every 1 or 2
years).<br>
<br>
If there should be more, it's the organization in need's call to
bring in the manpower for the support.<br>
<br>
I also think that we should be clear that the LTR is provided on all
platforms supported on its first release (.0 patch). Every other
platform may be added but there is no guarantee.<br>
