Technically, the release up to the point where they become LTS is stable but not LTS (I don't know what exactly that means...). For Fedora, this basically means that we should be able to land the newest version in April and it will be API-compatible for that whole time and locked down in October. So that should be as safe as we can realistically make it. > > I suggest putting a comment explaining "please only use LTS releases" > (plus some of this explanation) right into the nodejs spec file. > Not a bad idea. As it is, I think I've come to the conclusion that Fedora will drop back to the 4.x LTS for Fedora 24. Unless I hear some really compelling new information by tomorrow morning, I'll work on that tomorrow.
