+
+On my side, I think mageia should do a "mix" of others idea.
+
+I would say :
+- A release every year.
+- During this year, a way to update some popular stuff (firefox, chrome, 
+libreoffice...)
+- During this year also a way to add some new package if needed or if 
+there is some instant success for a new software.
+
+Every 3 years, the release is LTS and that mean it would be maintain for 
+4 years.
+
+So at the same time, mageia would be in 3 mode :
+- The LTS
+- The common release
+- The cauldron.
+
+With that kind of stuff, you should have no more than one release for 
+public at a time, and just one LTS.
+If you update main software(we could define a list of no more than 20 
+software) people who are crasy about new function, or developper who 
+need tham to develop new stuff would be happy.
+
+BTW : I think mailing list are totally outdated and that mageia should 
+have a special section in this forum for these discussion, or maybe 
+another forum.
+It's totally impossible for people who want to participate sometimes to 
+follow you emails everydays. It's much faster to read some topic on a 
+forum than dozens emails. And your final user should be able to know 
+what happen easily. It would be a big + in front of others distributions.
