DRAFT - Long Term Support Releases
Long Term Support (LTS) releases are Fedora releases targeting installations that favor known stability over the latest features.
LTS releases will be determined by the Fedora Committer and Leadership groups, with an estimated frequency of every other year.
LTS releases will come with the following guarantees:
- 3 year period of support
- Ensure stability of the API
- Ensure compatibility with a supported version of the JVM per: Policy - Supported JVM
- Ensure backporting of critical bug fixes and security patches
- Provide documentation and tooling for migration from one LTS to the next
Note: A community volunteer will lead the management of any given LTS release on a revolving one-year basis.
