My personal take here would be that we extend the next feature freeze to the required period to get the stability required instead of adding new features. But in any case, the roadmap needs to be updated as soon as possible as it still presents 4.2 as next LTR. Le mar. 1 sept. 2026 ? 14:39, J?rgen E.

This would let users test version 4.2 early and they could keep their own roadmap. They can even go live with it already and get updates for a long time. And we can still call the LTR stable when it is ready.
