    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).

    
    Matthieu.
