Hello Cephers,
i too am for LTS releases or for some kind of middle ground like longer
release cycle and/or have even numbered releases designated for
production like before. We all use LTS releases for the base OS when
running Ceph, yet in reality we depend much more on the Ceph code than
the base OS.
Another thing we hear our users want, after stability, is performance.
it ultimately determines the cost of the storage solution. I think this
should be high on the priority list. I know there has been a lot of
effort with Crimson development for a while, but from my opinion if Ceph
was run by a purely commercial company, getting this out the door as
quickly as possible would take priority.
That is in line with the results from the last Ceph User Survey (2021):

So there is a dedicated group of people involved in the "next gen" OSD
storage sub system, which is a big endeavor. In the mean time there are
several developers improving the current implementation incrementally.
Zac is doing a great job improving the documentation. Cephadm team is
working on improving management. As as I have read correctly they will
have access to a large cluster to improve ... the next thing on the prio
list: scalability, in this case scalability of the management system.
If there is a separate "quality" team for the No. 1 priority:
Reliability? I don't know. Maybe that is just implicit in the project,
to make things reliable by default? That might be an interesting thing
to ask in the upcoming user+dev meeting ...
