1 Hi, everyone.
2
3 I've been thinking about this for some time already, and the recent
4 FILESDIR mess seems to confirm it: I'd like to start a more stable LTS
5 branch of Portage.
6
7 Roughly, the idea is that:
8
9 - master becomes 3.1.x, and primary development happens there
10
11 - 3.0.x becomes the LTS branch and only major bugfixes are backported
12 there
13
14 As things settle down in the future, master would become 3.2.x, 3.1.x
15 would become LTS, 3.0.x will be discontinued and so on.
16
17 WDYT?
