+Excerpt from the matching blog &quot;Mageia 2: release cycle, support and
+planning&quot;, published in July 2011:
+
+&quot;The outcome of our discussions: the release cycle for Mageia will be
+9 months. We think it&#8217;s a well-balanced choice, providing an
+up-to-date distribution that&#8217;s also stable. It should also give us
+enough time to build the specifications, develop, package, innovate
+and finalize it.
+
+Each Mageia release will be supported for 18 months. We will have a
+global review of our resources before next release to check that we
+can still provide support according to our first plan. If all is going
+well, then we will think about releasing a LTS (Long Term Support)
+version every 18 months, to be supported for 3 years.&quot;
