</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> But we could include this &quot;kind of&quot; LTS with 36 month.

</I>&gt;&gt;<i> Difference with Ubuntu will be that our LTS will be launched only

</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;&gt;<i> If you add the LTS, should regular release support be reduced to 12

</I>&gt;<i> It has been posted before but I guess it's a good read for anyone
</I>&gt;<i> willing to push an argument in this debate:
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/a-story-about-updates-and-people/">http://mairin.wordpress.com/2010/09/01/a-story-about-updates-and-people/</A>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> It is a nice post explaining the existing different point of views
</I>&gt;<i> (bonus to clever points about updates frequency and presentation).
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Now, in the same vein, let's put the discussion at rest a little and
</I>&gt;<i> have each interested person write down an article with arguments for
</I>&gt;<i> the why's and how's. So here is a page for that:
</I>&gt;<i> <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=rollingdebate">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=rollingdebate</A>
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Please write down your point of view, detail it as explained on the
</I>&gt;<i> wiki page, link it and a week from now, everyone involved in the
</I>&gt;<i> discussion can have a look at it for a summary.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> That won't trigger a change decision at once (way too soon anyway, we
</I>&gt;<i> have to roll a first release to assess our new build system and
</I>&gt;<i> infrastructure and organisation) but it may at least lay down all
</I>&gt;<i> arguments and allow to have a better view of what everyone understand,
</I>&gt;<i> agree on definitions and see what is really at stake here. For later
</I>&gt;<i> reference, discussion and decision.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Thanks a lot.
</I>&gt;<i>
</I>&gt;<i> Cheers,
</I>&gt;<i>

Merci Romain:

This should help a lot. So perhaps a return to this discussion later (a 
a new thread!), with a reference to the wiki page for devs and users 
alike? Then Mageia will get a better feel for what is the &quot;hoped&quot; 
expectation from the devs and users? If people in the new thread were to 
argue a statement, we could then offer them the

 &gt; <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=rollingdebate">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=rollingdebate</A>

page as reference.

Sounds great!

Marc
