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
"

Zenaan
