My comments advocating a (ubuntu/debian/linux-kernel/firefox) LTS release and feature-train release cycle: https://lwn.net/Articles/646740/ https://lwn.net/Articles/646743/ The parent article "PostgreSQL: the good, the bad, and the ugly": https://lwn.net/Articles/645020/ My summary (from one of my comments above): "For PostgreSQL may be: - normal release every 3 or 4 months - LTS release every 12, 18 or 24 months This model provides: - higher frequency normal releases to a) showcase new features to the public and b) reduce pressure on developers wanting to not miss an "infrequent annual" release; and - lower frequency LTS releases to a) focus testing, stability and long term support resources b) satisfy "conservative/ enterprise" RDBMS admins " Regards, Zenaan -- Sent via pgsql-general mailing list (pgsql-general@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-general
