[Qgis-developer] What's the purpose of an LTR?

[Andreas Neumann]

Hi Giovanni,

The idea is to invest more in bugfixing and bugfix releases for the LTR 
release. If a major problem in 2.8 LTR is found and 2.10 is already out, 
there would still be another bug fix release for 2.8 LTR. LTR is for one 
year of support in bug fixing.

QGIS PSC and QGIS-CH may also decide to invest more money into bug 
fixing of a LTR release.
