oddly this looks a lot like the Ubuntu release cycle if you replace stable with LTS

Ubuntu LTS in about 5 years lifetime. Other releases have a lifetime of 18mo.
For now, there is 5 maintained ubuntu versions at the same time (the older is from 2008)

As far as I understand the fp, this is not what we want to (and can) do.


The cycle would have to go: stable, preview, preview, stable, and so on to avoid maintaining more than two releases at a time.

If it went back and forth between stable and preview, you'd have three supported releases at once in the second half of year two.


Yes, but I didn't find better ;)
This will make a stable release every 1.5 year. It will be complicated to mix with a lifetime of 2 years.
And extend the lifetime to 3 years is not a good solution (and will be refused anyway).
