Doesn't this approach mean that potentially there's never an automated
build (eg, if we get a commit to the LTR branch every < 14 days)?
Would a better approach be to also have a maximum time between
releases, eg after 2 weeks if no activity or after 3/4 weeks since
last LTR release (only if there's been changes, obviously)?
